Iran hospital manager attacked with acid
Two attackers on a motorbike threw acid in the face of a Tehran hospital manager, police said Sunday, the latest in a string of such attacks that have mostly targeted women.
In a statement posted on its website, the police said Dr. Siamand Anvari, head of Ziaian hospital, was attacked late Saturday while on his way back home and was later rushed to a hospital. Mahmoud Jabbarvand, one of the medics who treated him, was quoted by the semiofficial ISNA news agency as saying he would not lose his vision and would be discharged in the coming days.
