With God's help, Ahmadinejad's picture saved structure from earthquake
Iranian news sources quote the Governor of Kerman, the southern Iranian province struck by a strong earthquake, as stating "people's faith in God and miracles is strong. For example, one house had 3 walls collapsed but the one wall standing unharmed in the earthquake was the one which had the picture of Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on it. People believe God saved this house due to our beloved President's services and dedication to poor people in this area."
A powerful 6.5-Richters earthquake struck a sparsely populated district of southeastern Iran on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people, injuring at least 40 and damaging 1,800 homes. The casualties could be much higher if the quake had struck more populated areas. In 2003, in the nearby historic City of Bam, a 6.6-Richters quake killed at least 25000 people.
