This base has damage that may have been caused by rebel teams operating in the region. This region has been a hot bed of CIA backed Iranians who are trying to overthrow the government. The CIA groups were operating here before 2001.
Tehran, Iran, Mar. 17, 2005. Twenty-two Iranian government and provincial officials were killed in an ambush in the south-eastern province of Sistan-va-Baluchistan in the early hours of Friday morning, the government-owned news agency Fars reported. The incident occurred at 1:20 am as a convoy packed with officials was returning from a gathering in Zabol to the city of Zahedan. Unidentified gunmen opened fire on the convoy close to Shileh Bridge killing 22 and injuring seven officials, the report said. Among those injured in the attack was believed to be the governor of Zahedan, Hossein-Ali Nouri. The report said that he was shot five times and is in critical condition. The head of security of the Zahedan governorate also died in the attack. The report quoted an “informed source” in a hospital in Zabol as saying that 50 individuals were killed or injured in the attack. Sistan-va-Baluchistan Province is home to Baluchis, a predominantly Sunni Muslim ethnic minority. Iran has witnessed escalating unrest in recent months in areas populated by Baluchis, who complain of discriminatory and repressive policies by the Shiite clerics who rule the country.

Hello ffjbentson,
A very useful tool for displaying many placemarks in a small area, or the same kind of thing, or a tour, is a folder. Instead of clicking "placemark" on the "add a placemark" menu, click "folder" . Then you can drag placemarks you have already created to it, or create placemarks in the folder that you made and named. Attach it to your post as you would a regular placemark. So now, rather than someone having to visit many posts you made, which often get separated and scattered, they can click once and see all the things you want to show about the locality or item or tour. Later, if you have something else to add, you can add it, re-save and re-post the folder with the new information.
To delete the old single-placemark posts edit them with DELETE as the subject line. Moderators will remove them as we scan the forums.
Please Make Folders
Thankyou

Yes but all of your Posts in the area should be in a Folder.. You can still have sub folders as in the above post.
