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.

    > same level as the terrorists
    almost at the same level. Both react against mostly the wrong people, but glassing the caliphate is surely more accurate than targeting civilians in retaliation for attacks decided by entirely other levels.

    Intellectual masturbation takes a wrong turn! When you find yourself defending genocide in any manner that isn't comedy then it is probably time to re-evaluate the conversation.
