Iran's leaders say that Americans and Israelis were the only people to benefit from the attacks on the Samarra Mosque's Golden Dome. How did they benefit? According to this article from Iran's Tehran Times, the 'occupation forces' benefit because the resulting Muslim disunity will 'provoke civil war in Muslim countries,' prolonging America's presence in Iraq.
Alexander Koptsev
Alexander Koptsev, arrested after an attack on a Moscow synagogue on 11 January, pleaded not guilty.
He injured eight people when he lashed out at random with a knife before being wrestled to the ground by Rabbi Yitzak Kogan and his son, witnesses said.
He faces a maximum of life in prison. He is charged with attempted murder "motivated by racial hatred".
It is alleged that he shouted "I've come here to kill" after bursting into the synagogue.

The European Union is trying to reassure European Jewish officials that it will stand tough on Hamas and Iran, but so far it isn't having much luck.
Speaking this week to the leaders of 40 European Jewish communities federations at the general assembly of the European Jewish Congress, the European Union's foreign affairs commissioner, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, tried to strike a note of solidarity with the Jewish leaders, but the leaders weren't buying into the notion.

The consensus among the corrupt lying politicos is that 'Islamic terrorists' are responsible for the upsurge in attacks on Shrines and religious leaders in Iraq. Sadly, it seems that someone forgot to inform Iraq's Shia and Sunni populations of this...

Witness 1:
I live in a district very near to the mosque and I will tell you exactly what I saw hours before the bombing.
There is a daily curfew in our city (Samarra) starts from 8,00 in the evening until 6,00 in the morning, in the night before the bombing and just when it's getting dark there was unusual activities by the ING (Iraqi National Guard) in the area around the mosque, I heard their cars the whole night until next day in the morning.
The Mosque Guards testimony says: Four people with ING uniforms blind folded them and set the bombs.
The witness continues, so ask I you how could the terrorists enter the area which is usually surrounded by the ING and enter the mosque then runway without being got by the police?.
At least 120 people have now been killed as a direct result of the bombing of the Shia shrine in Iraq. Fifty bullet-riddled bodies were found in Baghdad overnight and 47 factory workers were killed at a roadblock on the outskirts of the capital. Arab TV reporter, Atwar Bahjat, and two of her crew who worked for the Dubai-based al-Arabiya TV were also killed in Samarra.
