Ali Khamenei: A Timely Demise?

I've held back on linking this as yet uncorroborated Pajamas Media exclusive on the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenie. But I just came upon the second item below from an admittedly biased source, the National Council of Resistance Iran (NCRI), fingering Khamenie for allegedly having pulled the trigger on the Khobar Towers bombing.

A source close to Pajamas Media has learned that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has apparently succumbed to the cancer that hospitalized him last month, as exclusively reported by Pajamas Media, at age 67. He has been Iran’s most powerful figure since replacing Ayatollah Khomeini in the role of Supreme Leader in 1989.

Washington D.C. Federal Court: Ali Khamenei, leader of the mullahs’ regime, ordered Khobar bombing

Andy McCarthy said the senior Iranian officials weren't named when he wrote of it on Dec. 22 at NRO. But the NCRI actually names the source of their allegation:

In an interview with the New Yorker Magazine on September 20, 2001, the former F.B.I director reiterated on the role of the IRGC’s Qods Force in the bombings. In a side meeting at the summit of Heads of Islamic Countries In 1997, King Abdullah (then Saudi-Crown Price) told Ali-Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani (then Iran’s president) that “we are aware that your government carried out the Khobar Operation.” In Response, Rafsanjani insisted that he was not personally involved. He referred to Khamenei as “the one” who did it.

This why we need the airborne laser operational ASAP...so the hand of Allah can burn these SOB's to the ground in front of large crowds and not hit anyone else.

Another potential embarrassment for the right-nutters. A source close to PM? Ha ha ha...
