Two bombs explode in southeast Iran, police officers wounded

LONDON - Two bombs exploded on Tuesday in front of a police station in the city of Zahedan in southeastern Iran, local officials told state media, causing minor injuries to three police officers.

 

Jaish al-Adl, a Sunni militant group, claimed responsibility for the explosions. The group said it had targeted a police station with "two strong bombs", damaging a police car and motorcycle.

 

State news agency IRNA quoted the head of Sistan-Baluchestan police Mohammad Qanbari as saying the first explosion was caused by a percussion grenade. He said a "suspicious package" was also found on the street and exploded before being neutralised by a bomb disposal unit, injuring three police officers.
