They're saying on Twitter that injured protestors should not go to hospitals.
pstevenaiello: RT from Iran I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, MULTIPLE SOURCES CONFIRM: BASIJ ARE AT HOSPITALS. GO TO EMBASSIES. HOSPITAL = DEATH #iranelection
http://twitter.com/pstevenaiello/statuses/2255320754

People are posting the addresses of foreign embassies that are supposedly accepting the injured. Anyone have any confirmation of this? The Basij are waiting for injured people at the hospitals? That's terrible. :cry:

6. Sullivan quotes this tweet on his site:
2.14 pm. :(( eye witness reporting that milita using Ambulances to lure people & then shoot at them near roodaki & azarbayjan st.

I'm not sure what to believe. Why would they need to use ambulances as lures to shoot people? They can shoot whoever they want wherever they want. This may be a disinformation campaign to send the message: "Don't come to the protests. If you do, and you get injured, you can't safely get treatment. So it's better to stay home."

3. twitter earlier in week from someone on staff at a hospital would suggest that was wise
He went on about the militia coming in and grabbing people, killing them, hauling bodies off. I can't recall the poster who tweeted that report but it was online Monday or Tuesday

Would would seem very wise to avoid the usual treatment centers whether that tweet was accurate or not. Seems anyplace where educated people tend to congregate is under watch if not under attack. That would include hospitals with trained staffs and lots of computers.

11. Currently at the very top of that page is this:
RT Napalm! Death to Basij!!! Allahu Akbar!!! Allahu Akbar!!! Allahu Akbar!!!

Is this saying that the Basij are using napalm? Has anyone heard anything about this? Any confirmation?

5. One of the most disturbing twitters I've read:
KimSchaper: RT WARNING CONFIRMED Milita using Ambulances to lure people & then shoot them (Roodaki & Azarbayjan st.) #IranElection #IranRevolution

I really hope this isn't true.

12. "News" requires confirmation, footage, scripts, video/audio editing....
That creates lag, especially if official media video/audio isn't allowed.

15. Are you asking me?
I don't know any more than anyone else. Watch CNN and read Twitter.

And please don't take this wrong, but you have only 21 posts and appear to be new here. It's possible that you are with the Iranian government, maybe even Basij. I don't think that that's the case, in fact I highly doubt that that's the case, but we need to be careful right now. I know of no secret underground internet places and I wouldn't say even if I did.
