Daesh claims responsibility for twin terror attacks in Iran's Kerman
The Daesh (ISIS) terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the Wednesday attacks in Iran’s southeastern city of Kerman that left 84 people dead.
The Takfiri group issued a statement on Thursday night, claiming responsibility for the explosions that also left 284 people injured, Reuters reported.
The attacks took place after two explosions ripped through a route leading to the burial site of Iran’s anti-terror icon, General Qassem Soleimani, as people had gathered to mark the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the United States.
General Soleimani played a key role in defeating the Daesh terrorist group in Iraq and Syria.
َِDaesh emphasized that Omar al-Mowahhed and Seifullah al-Mujahid were the two suicide bombers who used explosive belts in the two terrorist operations.
