LONDON, February 17 (IranMania) - Police and insurgents clashed after a bombing in southeastern Iran late Friday near the site where an explosion killed 11 members of the elite Revolutionary Guards this week, Iranian news agencies reported.
"Minutes ago, the sound of a bomb explosion was heard in one of Zahedan's streets," the state-run news agency IRNA said, without giving more details.
The semiofficial Fars news agency said clashes broke out between Iranian police and armed insurgents after the explosion.
Fars quoted the governor of Zahedan, Hasan Ali Nouri, as saying the blast was a "sound bomb explosion"_ a device that creates a loud boom but that usually does not cause casualties.
Nouri said there was gunfire heard but that it was late at night and that police had cordoned off the area.
On Wednesday, a car bomb blew up a bus carrying Revolutionary Guards, killing 11, in Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, which sits on the border with Pakistan.
A Sunni Muslim militant group called Jundallah, or God's Brigade, which has been blamed for past attacks on Iranian troops, has claimed responsibility for the Wednesday bombing, AP noted.
Iran has accused the United States (Of course it has...) of backing militants to destabilize the country. Tensions between Tehran and Washington are growing over allegations of Iranian involvement in attacks on US troops in Iraq, and over Iran's nuclear activities...
