ReplyDeleteThe ethnicity of said soldier?
ReplyDeleteAzeri?
Baluchi?
Kurd?
Arab?
"The ethnicity of said soldier?"
ReplyDeleteAs you may know so far no answer to that.
I do not expect to get an answer soon if ever.
ReplyDeleteThat is unless it becomes a regular occurrence that the Iranian regime cannot cover up.
You have to get specialty media to know that Baluchis cross into Iran to shoot things up. The Paks do not seem to mind, so long they cannot be pegged with neglect. Same Baluchis cannot shoot things up in Pakistan or there will be Hell to pay.
The MSM does not cover things like this too much. MSM journalism is spotlight or lime light journalism, which flits about like a firefly unless something is at stake for the legislative arm of their party.
I guess I caught onto this when the MSM haphazardly covered Dharfur and Somalia (after 1992). They go long periods of time without reporting.
Coverage is never consistent or an even pull.
