Two people have been killed and eight others have been injured in a suicide bombing attack on the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini in southern Tehran.
The suicide bomber was also killed in the blast that rocked the northern wing of the mausoleum of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, on Saturday, Tabnak reported.
The injured pilgrims have been taken to hospitals.
This is what a colleague of mine emailed to me today:
“A few days before the Iranian election satellite and cable stations started playing a documentary on HBO, “The Queen and I”. It’s about the Shah’s widow. Just a few minutes ago MSNBC interviewed the Iranian producer. The producer says that the “Queen”, as she is still referred to, hopes that the rioters will prevail in bringing down Ahmadinijad and the present government. She and her son, whom she claims has great support in Iran, want to return to their rightful place in Iran.”
