At Least One Protester Killed by Iranian Security Forces

I’m not going to try to provide up-to-the-minute coverage of the situation in Iran, but it seems worth noting that at least one of the 100,000+ protestors demonstrating in Iran today was shot dead by security services. BBC Persian is reporting as many as four dead. And with shots being fired, there’s no telling how bad the bloodshed may get. I think it’s probably counterproductive for foreign governments to try to back Moussavi directly in this dispute, but certainly everyone ought to be in a position to condemn shooting at unarmed demonstrators.
