Suicide bombers kill at least 15 in southeast Iran

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up near a mosque in southeastern Iran on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people at a Shiite mourning ceremony, Iranian media reported.

The attack took place outside the Imam Hussein Mosque in the port city of Chabahar, near the border with Pakistan, the official IRNA news agency said, quoting lawmaker Mohammad Yaghoub Jedgal.

The attack targeted a group of worshippers at a mourning ceremony a day before Ashoura, which commemorates the seventh century death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson Hussein, one of Shiite Islam's most beloved saints.

The area of Iran is home to an armed Sunni militant group, Jundallah, or Soldiers of God, which has waged sporadic attacks to fight alleged discrimination against the area's Sunni minority in overwhelmingly Shiite Iran.
