Terrorists have attacked the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum and Iranian parliament in two nearly simultaneous incidents:
There have been multiple attacks in the Iranian capital of Tehran, according to state media. A woman was arrested after a bomb attack and shooting spree wounded two people at the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum south of the city Wednesday, the semi-official Fars news agency reports. The news agency reported that a second attacker is currently surrounded by security officers.
That attack occurred at the same time as a shooting in the Iranian parliament, in which at least three people were injured after an attacker stormed the building in central Tehran, according to state-run Press TV.
Also at Washington Post, BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Tehran Times.

Police shootings have been covered quite a bit before, but I agree the trend on this site is the more politically divisive stories. The middle east is a bigger deal right now, the world is gearing up for WW3 so naturally people will be more interested in stories involving that area. Of course a lot of the western attacks should be treated as local news on par with other local violence, but that misses a great opportunity for propaganda!
