'IS' hits parliament and Khomeini mausoleum Surprised no one here has mentioned this yet.. Let God sort them out?

My deepest sympathies to Italy and Iran the families of the victims, and thanks to the rescuers I remember how the Iranian people reacted after 9/11/2001 and how Italy has stood with the USA as an friend in the past, sad to see so much hardship and suffering in the world.
