Tehran, Iran - Gunmen have fired on opposition protesters at a massive march over alleged election fraud, killing at least one person.

An Associated Press photographer saw one person shot dead and several others who appear seriously wounded in Tehran's Azadi Square. The shooting came from a compound for volunteer militia linked to Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard.

The gunfire Monday came after more than 100,000 opponents of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad streamed through Tehran. They were not challenged by security forces despite an earlier ban on rallies for reformist leader Mir Hossein Mousavi.

Disputes over alleged vote rigging in last week's elections have touched off days of rioting in Tehran.

Watch the way you speak, or type, about those holy Gedolim and Tzadikim. It's quoted in the name of several of them that the gezeiroh was hidden even from the greatest Baalei Ruach HaKodesh. And by the way, people TODAY in several parts of the world are repeating the same mistakes!

Do you really think that those kedoshim who died with their kahal are the people to blame? Where were the foreign democratic governments when this was happening? Where were the American Jews? Baruch Hashem for our leaders both past and present.
