Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar charged on Friday the CIA was involved in the suicide bombing in southeast Iran as the death toll rose to 36. "From the inspection of equipment obtained from the terrorist elements of this crime, it has become clear that the CIA and other spy agencies were involved," he was quoted as saying on state television's website. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, meanwhile, accused the West of working to divide the Muslim world. "Our people know the objective of the enemy. They realize that the arrogance (West) does not want the Muslim world to be sovereign," Sayyed Khamenei said in a message read out at a funeral for victims of the attack. "Enemies do not want to see the unity of Muslims," he added. Iranian media on Friday said the death toll has climbed to 36 from the suicide bombing during the annual mourning rituals of Ashura, while dozens of others were wounded. Nine people linked to the bombing have reportedly been arrested.CIA Accused of Role in Iran Suicide Bombing
