| [AlAhram] Two kabooms were heard in the city of Zahedan, in southeastern Iran, state media said on Tuesday, but there were contradictory reports about the source of the blasts. The Young Journalist Club, a news website linked to state broadcaster IRIB, said two jacket wallahs had blown themselves up in front of a cop shoppe. But Mehr news agency quoted an "informed source" as saying that one of the kabooms was caused by a percussion grenade. Four people were maimed, according to Mehr and the Young Journalist Club. Zahedan is the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, where Iranian security forces often clash with armed drugs smugglers and Sunni hard boys. The province is home to mostly Sunni ethnic Baluchis, a minority in predominantly Shi’ite Iran. A video of the aftermath of the attack was soon removed from the Young Journalist Club’s website. The video, shared on other social media, showed a car with a broken windshield and people around it. |
