One Killed, Eight Injured in Terrorist Attack at Iran’s Shah Cheragh Shrine

Monday 14 August 2023
One Killed, Eight Injured in Terrorist Attack at Iran’s Shah Cheragh Shrine

Alwaght- One person has been killed and eight others injured in a 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. 

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 before being arrested, and the other fled the scene, the report said. 

The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the deadly assault. 

The Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz was the scene of a similar attack by armed terrorists last year.

On October 26, 2022, an armed terrorist barged into the shrine, killing 15 pilgrims, including women and children, and injuring dozens more before he was shot and injured by security forces.

The terrorist later died of his wounds in hospital. Two of his accomplices were executed last month, after being sentenced to death.

Several suspects were immediately arrested, and, some two weeks later, the Intelligence Ministry announced the arrest of 26 Takfiri terrorists for their involvement in the attack.
