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.

In the UK today, we've had a nursery worker slashed with a knife by three females "for Allah", a youth with a machete apprehended by police in Barking and reports of a similar incident in Luton.
Do you mean "for"? Yet almost nobody supports interventionist geopolitik.
The word I used was "islamist". [oxforddictionaries.com]

You actually have a place called Barking? That's apropos somehow. I'd like to think that's an example of dry British self-deprecation.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
