Especially if Al Qaeda members joined the protests...

I think I heard the mortal causalities from the Iranian protests were members of the anti-Iranian terrorist group Jundallah. They were supposedly trying to stir up a lot of shit.

That is probably government propaganda. I seriously doubt that poor girl Neda was a terrorist. Only now the government is trying to shift the blame to some other source (like the US or Britain or some terrorist group), even though people on the street saw who shot her.
