• Demonstrators in Karaj have attacked the head of the city council, who is also described as a “hardline” Revolutionary Guards commander with a “direct role” in the arresting and killing of protestors, with sticks near his home yesterday. The report I received from student supporters of the PMOI says he is currently in a coma and will probably die.
• General Odierno says that Iran is still training and financing insurgents in Iraq who use mortars and roadside bombs, that “many of the attacks in Baghdad are in fact done by individuals supported by Iran.”
• There is an unconfirmed report that six pro-Mousavi demonstrators have been hanged in Mashhad.
• Ayatollah Hadi Gafouri gave a speech a few days ago to demonstrators in Tehran, where he said that Ayatollah Khomeini never wanted Khamenei to succeed him as Supreme Leader. Another ayatollah, Seyyed Jaleleddin Taheri-Esfhani came to the defense of Mousavi this week.
