Islamist judge escapes from ambush

SMCCDI (Information Service):
An Islamist judge was able to escape from an ambush Sunday night in northern Tehran. Fazli-Nejad who's known for his role in crackdown on Iranian bloggers was on his way home when he was attacked by armed assailants.

His life was saved due to his bullet proof car hit by several shots.

Fazli-Nejad is also a close collaborator of Judge Moghadassi who was killed last Wednesday by armed assailants.

Rumors are stating that the regime intelligence circles might have been behind the murder attempt as Fazli-Nejad had resigned from his position, last month, and has threatened to speak up about series of injustices made, such as, in the case of Serial Murders.
