Another Explosion Rocks Southeast Iran

June 15, 2005

15 June 2005 -- The Iranian Student News Agency says that another explosion rocked the city of Zahedan in southeastern Iran today, just two days before the presidential elections.

The Interior Ministry in Tehran confirmed the explosion but could give no further details.

Six suspects were arrested yesterday in connection with bombing in the capital Tehran and the southwestern city of Ahvaz that killed at least nine people over the weekend.

A total of four bombs have exploded in the last 72 hours in Zahedan injuring two people.
