[217.218.67.231] Iranian security forces have killed two Lions of Islam and nabbed
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
five others in the southeast of the country.

Iranian Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi said on Wednesday night that security forces killed two Lions of Islam in the city of Chabahar in Sistan-and-Baluchestan province earlier in the day.

They also arrested five other terrorists, including two nationals from a neighboring country, he said, adding that a member of Intelligence Ministry forces lost his life.

Alavi further said that a terrorist group was also busted in Kordestan province on Wednesday.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, bullets whapped! around him as he tried to tie his scarf around his shoulder as a tourniquet......
an informed source told IRNA that the Lions of Islam belonged to the so-called Ansar al-Furqan group, and that a terrorist sustained injuries during the festivities in Chabahar.

A number of explosive vests and some explosives and ammunitions were also seized from the terrorists, the source was quoted as saying.

This came in the wake of last week’s terror attacks in the Iranian capital Tehran, which killed 17 people and injured over 50 others.
