Firecracker causes embarrassment for president in Hamedan
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Hamedan, August 4, IRNA -- A young boy threw firecracker at motorcade of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to celebrate his arrival in Hamadan causing embarrassment.
The incident did not halt the welcoming ceremony but some foreign media tried to get fish from troubled waters and imply that it was an assassination attempt to make use of it.
The Iranian youth during special ceremonies such as New Year festivals or football matches use firecrackers as sign of jubilation.
Unfortunately, a number of domestic media reported it as explosion of hand grenade causing ambiguity.
An official at Hamedan province governor's office told IRNA correspondent that the explosion of the firecracker left no damage on people or property.
