“Iran digs thousands of graves ready for enemies,” from Agence France-Presse, June 30 (thanks to all who sent this in):
IRAN is to dig 320,000 graves in border districts to allow for the burial of enemy soldiers in the event of any attack on its territory, a top commander said today.
“In implementation of the Geneva Conventions … the necessary measures are being taken to provide for the burial of enemy soldiers,” the Mehr news agency quoted General Mir-Faisal Bagherzadeh as saying.“We have plans to dig 15,000 to 20,000 graves in each of the border provinces or a total of 320,000,” the general said, adding that some of them would be mass graves if necessary.
Mr Bagherzadeh said Iran was keen to “reduce the suffering of the families of the fallen in any attack against our country … and prevent any repetition of the long and bitter experience of the Vietnam War”….
