Rafsanjani escapes assassination attempt

Part 86 – SEPTEMBER 26, 1988 'You do not fight in the name of Allah, but you fight to further your own interests. You do not fool me when you say that you have the interest of Islam at heart. You fight for power, and I know it. You always want more power. None among you is content with his own carpet, and each one among you seeks to stretch his legs on his neighbor's carpet.' - Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Rafsanjani may have found powerful allies in his struggle for political power in the persons of Ahmed Khomeini, the son of the Supreme leader, and Velayati, the Foreign Minister, but the powerful Parliament Speaker has also made a few very dangerous enemies.
