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.

    OK genius here is a list of random causes of death:
    Death by Police
    Auto Accident
    Airplane Crash
    Bathtub Slip and Fall
    Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
    Terrorism

    Now let's say I really wish to avoid being a statistic and I do some of the following:
    Not own a bathtub, I'm fine with showers
    Obey the fucking Law
    Avoid Air travel
    Don't own a car or drive anywhere
    Change batteries in my Carbon Monoxide Detector religiously

    Now genius do pray tell how do I avoid dying from terrorism?

    I have a likely solution, but you are not going to like it.

    kill everyone? I'm all for a humanity culling, but the only you'll be safe is to kill absolutely everyone on the planet, except yourself. So it doesn't matter whether we like it, do YOU?

    I have a likely solution, but you are not going to like it: Carry on with your life as normal. Do not panic.
