Iranian Revolutionary Guards probe officer's 'horrific' death

None

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they were investigating the death of an officer in a "horrific incident," but denied it was an assassination. Alborz, an Iranian website, reported earlier this week that Mojtaba Ahmadi, an official of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was found dead near Karaj.

 

He had left his house on Monday morning and was found a few hours later with a bullet in his heart, it said. The London-based Daily Telegraph reported that Ahmadi was a commander of the Cyber War Headquarters and quoted a local police commander saying it was an assassination. (Reuters)
