Bomb explodes in mosque in east Iran


    TEHRAN (Reuters) - A bomb exploded in a mosque in the eastern Iranian city of Zahedan on Wednesday, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported, giving no details on any casualties.

    "A few hours ago a bomb exploded in Zahedan's Al-Ghadir mosque ... There is still no information on who was behind this incident," Fars said. Zahedan is capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, a volatile region close to the Pakistani border.
