At least four have been killed and seven others injured in an armed terrorist attack at the Shah Cheragh shrine in Iran’s southern city of Shiraz.
State media reported two terrorists were involved in the shooting on Sunday.
One of the assailants was arrested. The other is said to be at large.
Three of those injured in the attack were in critical condition.
The terrorists attempted to enter the shrine through the Bab al-Mahdi Gate, and opened fire on the shrine servants.
Iran’s Nour News, affiliated with the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) of the Islamic Republic, said the two terrorists were “foreign nationals.”
One of the terrorists opened fire at the pilgrims with a Kalashnikov in the shrine before being arrested, and the other fled the scene, the report said.
The Daesh Takfiri terrorist group claimed responsibility for the deadly assault.
