Assassination attempt on Iranian President?

This is actually a little concerning. Michael Ledeen reported at The Corner today that a source of his said that an assassination was attempted on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezhad today. As Ledeen notes, if true this may be a sign that the powers that be in Iran are becoming a little uncomfortable with the spotlight that Amdadi Nezhad has shown on Iran through his bellicose rhetoric. With its nuclear program, Islamism, and hate for Israel and the United States, Iran is a significant threat to the future peace. With Amadi Nezhad "removed," it would be easier for Iran to continue to get away with their plans. With Amdai Nezhad in place and regularly shooting his mouth off, it is more difficult for Iran to accomplish their nuclear goals, something we should actually be thankful for in the big picture.
