Some different sad news about the quake

- Shargh Newspaper reports that entrance to the city of Bam now needs permission and only journalists, aid workers and the police can enter the city. The governor of Kerman has said that the decision is made because of the fear of thieveries. They steal tents and other donated equipments and later sell them in other cities.

- A reporter has said to the Coordination Committee of the Women NGOs' website that there are fears in Bam for children who have lost their parents to be sold. There are also reports of women who have been raped in the city. It's said that some 800 prisoners, mostly dangerous murderers and drug traffickers have escaped Bam prisons and wandering in the city. Although the order is back to the city now by the heavy presence of the Army. However, there are reports that some of the trucks carrying aids have been attacked and aids have been stolen.

- The most interesting one is that the president Khatami, said he intended to go to Bam in the first hours after the quake, but "experts didn't let him" because of unmentioned reasons. So he then entered the city on the third day after the quake, and of course, along with Ayatollah Khamenei. The reason is very clear: Khamenei didn't want Khatami to appear among the people of Bam earlier than him, and since the city was not secure enough for him to enter, he had made Khatami to wait and go with him at the same time.
