A prominent Iranian twitterer tweets:

Mousavi’s car attacked by plainclothes on the way to Tehran

Attackers damaged the car but no one were injured and Mousavi is safe

Mackey elaborates:

My colleague Nazila Fathi writes to say that the opposition Web site Rahesabz reported that Mir Hussein Moussavi’s convoy was attacked and one of his bodyguards was injured. According to the Web site, a group of Basiji militia members followed Mr. Moussavi’s convoy in Qum on motorcycles and blocked it several times. At one point, they attacked Mr. Moussavi’s car and smashed the rear window which injured one of his bodyguards. Mr. Moussavi was not hurt. The leader of the group was also injured after one the bodyguards confronted them.
