Iran Threatening Israel?

According to Aaron Klein from World Net Daily (WND) -
"Iran has ordered Palestinian terror groups to carry out a large-scale bombing inside Israel before elections here next week, security officials told WorldNetDaily."

"Officials say Iran has instructed the Islamic Jihad and West Bank cells of the Fatah-linked Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror groups to infiltrate immediately an Israeli city and carry out a mass-casualty attack. "

For those of you not following Israel at this time, elections will be held on March 28th, 2006 (Tuesday) to decide the new Prime Minister.

The Real Effect
Could the Dome of the Rock be a potential target here? I know, it doesn't make sense on it's surface but follow me here. Things we know so far:
  1. Muslims (at least some Muslims) are willing to blow up each others mosques.
  2. The Dome is the 3rd most revered site to Muslims and the holiest site to Jews.
  3. While there is some dispute over the exact location, the general location is the home of Judaism's 3rd temple.
So, if the Dome is blown up, Muslims everywhere go berserk and blame Israel. Israel attacks Iran in response and the U.S. comes to Israel's aid. Hmmmm...a very possible scenario.
