Fresh footage. From all the cell-phones and cameras and videocams, this revolution may be broadcast despite the banning of foreign press. Again, it is hard to offer real context for these images. But this is clearly the counter-attack against the Basij headquarters yesterday: the same Basij sniper on the roof. But this video from within the crowd has an immediacy no sane Western journalist could convey:

A reader translation is after the jump:

They are saying: "Marg bar basiji" (down with the baisjis). A guy yells: "They have left. Don't throw stones any more". And then "Tireshoon tamoom shod" (They are out of bullets!) and then there are more shots. Somebody cries, "Don't run away." Then, "they have killed 5 people", and some body shouts at the militia, "what are you doing??" and somebody else,"They are not shooting blanks (they bullets are live)" some more shots and somebody says, "They are shooting for real, Look at the blood" and then the guy on the ground and someone yells, "Ya abolfazl" (Abolfazl is brother of Imam Hossein and a saint like figure) and "Na-mard-haa" (cowards) then,"I called the emergency", getting the reply, "Forget about the emergency, let's take him (the guy on the ground) with us."
