TEHRAN (AFP) — A suicide bomber blew himself up at the Tehran
mausoleum of Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
on Saturday, killing himself and wounding three pilgrims, the official
IRNA news agency reported.

It said the wounded included two people from Arab countries who
suffered minor injuries. The third casualty was an Iranian.

Earlier the Mehr news agency said the attack took place at the
entrance to the shrine where devotees leave their footwear before
entering the main mausoleum.

"Minutes ago, a terrorist detonated his explosive vest in the Imam
Khomeini shrine. The blast caused damage in one section of the
shrine," Iran's deputy police chief for operations, Hossein Sajedinia,
was quoted as saying by Mehr.
