Three policemen killed in terrorist attack in Iran

Xinhua, April 2, 2015 Adjust font size:

Three Iranian policemen were killed in a terrorist attack in Iran's southwestern province of Khuzestan on Thursday, Press TV reported.

The on-duty police officers were killed when unknown gunmen opened fire on a temporary police station, which was set up for the new year holidays in the city of Hamidiyeh, a provincial deputy police chief was quoted as saying.

The investigation into the attack has been launched to identify and arrest the perpetrators, the deputy police chief Colonel Rahman Mousavi said.

According to the report, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said in April 2014 that it had busted a major terrorism and sabotage network in Khuzestan which is partially populated by Arab ethnicity. Endit
