Pair of Deadly Terrorist Attacks Hits Iran
(New York Times) Thomas Erdbrink and Mujib Mashal - ISIS assailants with rifles, explosives and women's disguises stunned Iran on Wednesday with audacious attacks on the Parliament building and tomb of its revolutionary founder in Tehran, the worst terrorist strike to hit the Islamic republic in years. At least 12 people were killed and 42 wounded in the pair of assaults, which clearly took Iran's elite security forces by surprise. The six known attackers also were killed, official media said, and five suspects were reported detained.
