Additionally, Rafsanjani, who has the power to remove Khomeinifinally spoke today regarding the violence in Iran. CNN World:
After more than two weeks of silence amid Iran's violent election fallout, former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani -- a key Iranian cleric -- emerged Sunday to call out "suspicious sources" who are creating a rift between the public and the Islamic government.
He called the aftermath of the June 12 presidential election "a tangled mess, perpetrated by suspicious sources whose objectives are to create differences and separations between the people and the system and eroding the trust of the people in the Islamic system," the Iranian Labor News Agency reported Sunday.
8:00 p.m. Twitter: There are several reports (unconfirmed) on Twitter and FaceBook noting that Mousavi was arrested at his home tonight at 9:30. The backlash from such a move, which would be in keeping with the regimes pattern of arrest, torture and execution, would undoubtedly bring a quick end to the already troubled regime.
