Iran arrests 9 suspects in deadly mosque bombing
None
Iranian security forces have arrested nine suspects in connection with a double bombing near a mosque in the country's southeast this week that killed 39 people, state television said Thursday.
The armed Sunni militant group Jundallah, or Soldiers of God, has claimed responsibility for Wednesday's bombing outside the Imam Hussein Mosque in the port city of Chahbahar near the Pakistan border. The group, which has carried out attacks on military and civilians in southeastern Iran in the past, said the bombing was an act of revenge for the June execution of its leader, Abdulmalik Rigi.
