Reports of between two and four explosions at ceremony marking fourth anniversary of killing of top general Qassem Suleimani
Two explosions have killed at least 103 people and injured scores more at a memorial ceremony in Iran marking the fourth anniversary of the US killing of Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s al-Quds force and one of the most powerful men in the Middle East.
A senior official called the blasts a terrorist attack, without elaborating on who could be behind them. No one has immediately claimed responsibility for what appeared to be the deadliest attack to target Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
According to IRNA, Iran’s official news agency, the first explosion in the south-central city of Kerman occurred 700 metres from Suleimani’s burial place and the second 1km from it.
You know most of the weapons are Russian right?
We shipped them Soviet weapons back when Kissinger was still in charge, so that doesn’t surprise me.
You’re right, the best time to do it was back when it started, the second best time is right now
