At least 10 people were killed when police clashed with "terrorists" in Tehran on Saturday, state TV says. The official reports, which cannot be confirmed accuse "rioters" of setting two petrol stations and a mosque ablaze in protest at a disputed poll result. State media also say five family members of one of Iran's most powerful figures, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, were arrested during the protests. Meanwhile Iran has ordered the BBC's Jon Leyne out of the country. "With regret, we can confirm that Jon Leyne, the BBC's permanent correspondent in Tehran has been asked to leave by the Iranian authorities. The BBC office remains open," a BBC statement said.

There are MKO and assortments of US supported and financed terrorists in Iran who'd do anything to push Iran towards chaos and destruction, and consequently war, at any cost.

Iran's uprising has been just and civil. But I'm sure there are elements, besides the regime thugs, who are more than happy to bring violence and destruction to Iran to server the neo-cons and Israel's cause.
