The last moments: Two suicide bombers pose for the camera as they strap on explosive vests before killing 28 at Iranian mosque

These are the last moments of two suicide bombers as they strap on explosive vests minutes before detonating them at a prominent Shi'ite mosque in south east Iran.

Sunni Muslim rebel group Jundollah has claimed responsibility for the attack near the Grand Mosque in Zahedan, which it says was in retaliation for the execution of its leader Abdolmalek Rigi last month.

Iranian clerical leaders have claimed the attack was supported by the U.S. in order to create instability in the Middle East country.

The powerful bombs killed at least 28 people at the holy site, including elite members of the Revolutionary Guard, and were apparently carried out by relatives of Abdolmalek Rigi.

Al Arabiya television reported: 'The group said the suicide attacks were carried out by Abdolbaset Rigi and Mohammad Rigi... and warned of more operations to come.'

Senior Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi said the U.S. should be held accountable for the 'terrorist acts in Zahedan' because of its support for Jundollah.

Cleric Kazem Sediqi said in a sermon broadcast on state radio today: 'Once more the wicked hand of America appeared out of the sleeves of ignorant and mercenary people.'

The White House has denied the allegations.

Iran is locked in a dispute with the U.S. and its allies over Tehran's nuclear programme, which the West says is designed to produce nuclear weapons and Iranian officials say aims to generate power.The head of the medical school at Sistan-Baluchestan province, Mansour Shakiba, said the attacks had killed at least 28 people and injured more than 169.

Iran's deputy Interior Minister in charge of security, Ali Abdollahi, confirmed a number of Revolutionary Guards were among those killed and injured.

bdolmalek Rigi was arrested in February, four months after Jundollah claimed responsibility for a bombing which killed dozens of people, including 15 Revolutionary Guards.It was the deadliest attack in Iran since the 1980s.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has condemned the attacks 'in the strongest possible terms'.

She said: 'This attack, along with the recent attacks in Uganda, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Algeria, underscores the global community's need to work together to combat terrorist organisations that threaten the lives of innocent civilians all around the world.'

Iran says Jundollah has links to al Qaeda and in the past has accused Pakistan, Britain and the U.S of supporting its efforts to create instability in south east Iran.

All three countries have denied this, and Jundollah denies it has links with al Qaeda.

In May last year, a suicide bomber killed 30 people and wounded more than 120 in an attack on a mosque in Zahedan.

Iran is struggling with ethnic and religious tensions in the southeastern province, where authorities have responded to attacks by carrying out hangings.

The things extremists do are not surprising, nor do they make sense to anyone who doesn't share their philosophy.

[Atencio 43]

Of course the Sunni- Shiite riff is the fault of the United States.

All of these kinds of threads are bait.

Is that guy wearing a dress?

Yep. Cross dressers have a hard time in those lands. They can redeem themselves only by blowing themselves up.

If only all of these crazies would utilize the 'learn one, do one, teach one' method of suicide bombing training.
