Armed men blow up gas tanker truck in Iran, policeman killed: Mehr
[AlAhram] A policeman was killed and another seriously maimed after gunnies blew up a tanker truck carrying liquified gas in northwestern Iran early on Wednesday, Mehr news agency reported.

Police approached two men at a petrol station in the town of Dareh Garm and the men began shooting at the tanker, the agency said.

There was a "horrific kaboom" which blew out windows in nearby buildings, Col. Seyed Ali Mirahmadi, the deputy police chief of Iran's northwestern Lorestan province, was quoted as saying.

The report gave no information about the identity of the attackers, or what happened to them.

Several members of Iran’s security forces have been killed in recent festivities with snuffies on Iran’s eastern and western borders.
Ynet adds:
Authorities later said five suspects were tossed in the slammer
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
State TV quoted Gen. Mohammad Mahdia, police chief in western Lurestan province where the shootout took place, as saying the suspects belong to two different groups. He did not elaborate but said an investigation was ongoing.
