Ahmadinejad attack ‘was firework’

Al Jazeera’s Alireza Ronaghi, reporting from Iran, said: “Presidential sources say a firecracker went off near Ahmadinejad’s convoy. They deny it was anything bigger than that and say Ahmadinejad and his entourage are OK.

“When I contacted the president’s office in Tehran [the capital of Iran], officials vehemently denied any such incident,” he said.
