Jihadist terror strikes Teheran

Post by Alexis »

Iran's parliament and Khomeini mausoleum attacked by gunmen
Attackers have opened fire at the Iranian parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini's mausoleum in the capital, Tehran, causing a number of casualties.
(...)
At the mausoleum several people were injured, and at least one suicide bomber died.
The so-called Islamic State group (IS) has claimed it carried out the attacks.
Number of casualties unclear as of now.

Would be interesting to ascertain whether the perpetrators are radicalized Sunnis, or converts from Shia branch of Islam. I guess it won't be clear for some time.
