TEHRAN, July 26 (Xinhua) — At least eight people (five civilians and three attackers) were killed and 13 others were wounded in a "terrorist" attack on the Justice Department building in Zahedan, capital of Sistan and Baluchestan Province in southeastern Iran, on Saturday morning, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.
The group Jaysh al-Zulm, recognized as terrorist in Iran, claimed responsibility for the attack, the report said.
According to the report, after entering the Justice Department building, the "terrorists" opened fire on people inside. The death toll could rise, it added.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement published on its official Sepah News website that its ground forces had managed to kill three "terrorists."
Provincial authorities have urged people to stay away from the Justice Department and surrounding areas.
Jaysh al-Zulm has been involved in many deadly attacks on Iranian security forces and civilians in recent years. –0–
