Following the recent double suicide attacks by the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) in Iran, the process of arresting the people involved in it continues. 11 suspects involved in the attack have been arrested from 6 different states. Iran's state TV reported on Saturday that the death toll in the suicide bombings has risen to 91. Many of the injured are still in critical condition.
An 8-year-old boy and a 67-year-old man died from injuries sustained in the suicide attacks, state TV quoted the country's emergency services spokesman Babak Yektaparast as saying. Yektaparast said that 102 people are still under treatment in hospitals, out of which 11 injured are in critical condition.
Attack on Soleimani's fourth anniversary
The attack took place in Kerman, about 820 km southeast of Tehran, the capital of Iran. The suicide attack was carried out on Wednesday during a memorial service held on the fourth anniversary of the killing of General Qasem Soleimani, head of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force. General Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in 2020. He led the Quds Force.
In Wednesday's attack in Kerman, a suicide bomber blew himself up, followed by a second suicide bomber about 20 minutes later. The attack happened as emergency workers and others were trying to help the injured. The death toll in the second attack was higher.
After the suicide attacks in Iran, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for this attack. Iran is angry after IS claimed responsibility. Now he is bent on avenging these attacks. A red flag symbolizing revenge has been hung at the Jamkaran Masjid. The red flag is not an ordinary flag, it is considered a symbol of Iran's vow of revenge.
Daesh terrorist organization also claimed
The death toll in these blasts has reached 91 so far. Although the death toll was initially reported to be 95, officials said that the names of the dead have been written twice in many places. In such a case, the list of the deceased had to be amended.
The Intelligence Ministry said on Friday that one of the two suicide bombers was a Tajik citizen. At least 11 people have been arrested in connection with the attack. They have been arrested from 6 different states. The Daesh terrorist group was also blamed for the blasts.
The Intelligence Ministry said its agents raided the houses of two terrorists and seized explosive devices and raw materials, explosive jackets, remote-control devices, detonators. One of these suicide bombers has been identified as a Tajik national.
On the other hand, the Daesh terrorist organization also claimed responsibility for the deadliest attack in Iran in 40 years in a statement released on its Telegram channel on Thursday. The group claimed that the two brothers detonated their explosive jackets when they came to mourn near General Soleimani's grave.
