2006-05-08
TEHRAN, MAY 8 (AP)A strong explosion wounded several people today in the governor's office in Kermanshah, a city in southwestern Iran, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The agency did not say what detonated the blast, which occurred at about 2 p.m. local time (1600 IST). "The cause is under investigation," the agency quoted the deputy general governor of Kermanshah, Ali Ta'ala, as saying.

Additional: TEHERAN - A small bomb exploded in the governor’s office of the northwestern Iranian city of Kermanshah on Monday, injuring two people, the ISNA students’ news agency reported. The provincial governor’s office could not immediately confirm a bombing but said “people were investigating”. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.

“A small bomb exploded at the prayer room at the Kermanshah governor’s office on Monday,” ISNA quoted unnamed provincial officials as saying. It did not give further details.
I hope no Korans were injured
Kermanshah lies in IranÂ’s volatile western borderlands, which have simmered with unrest among the Kurdish minority since last summer. Several members of IranÂ’s security forces and Kurds have died in street protests and gun-battles.

Government leaders in IraqÂ’s Kurdistan say Iran has attacked Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrillas in Iraq three times in late April and early May. The PKK, seeking a Kurdish homeland, accuses Ankara and Tehran of mounting coordinated attacks against it and its Iranian wing, PJAK.
