The murderous Moslem Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has grabbed credit for the Oct. 26 attack on Shah Cheragh in the city of Shiraz, one of Iran’s top five Shiite shrines. But the government has tried to blame the attack on the largely peaceful anti-government protests, without offering evidence.
Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
initially said 15 were killed in Shiraz but later revised the number to 13 over double-counting.
The report on IRNA identifies the gunman as Sobhan Komrouni. He died in a hospital in southern Iran, days after the Oct. 26 attack, from injuries sustained during his arrest.
Citing Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, today’s report says the gunman’s accomplice was an Afghan citizen, Mohammad Ramez Rashidi. A third suspect, from neighboring Azerbaijan, was allegedly the "main coordinator" of the attack from Iran’s capital, Tehran, the report claims.
"These [26] turbans were arrested in the provinces of Fars, Tehran, Alborz, Kerman, Qom and Razavi Khorasan", as well as along Iran’s "eastern border", the ministry added.
The perpetrator of the attack in Shiraz, identified by the intelligence ministry as Sobhan Komrouni, died of wounds sustained while he was being arrested. The ministry said he was "a Tajik national" known as Abu Aisha.
It added that the main coordinator of attacks in Iran, an Azeri national, was also arrested, having entered the country through Tehran’s international airport from Baku. He had been in contact with an IS network abroad after arriving in Tehran, it added.
On October 31, the ministry announced that several others had been arrested, including an "operational support element" identified on Monday as Mohammed Ramez Rashidi, an Afghan national.
Iranian Intelligence Service Says Afghans Participated In The Attack On The Shah Cheragh Shrine
In a bizarre move, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence released a statement that summarized an investigation into the deadly attack on the Shah Cheragh Shrine. The statement claimed that 26 foreign nationals participated in planning, executing, and supporting the attack. The statement claimed that several of the terrorists were Afghan but only named one. The statement went on to say the foreign operatives contacted the operational headquarters of ISIS in the region. They said the operational headquarters was located in Afghanistan.
