AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Political Affairs Majid Mirahmadi has said that both explosions, which killed dozens of people in Kerman on Wednesday, were suicide bombings.
Mirahmadi told IRNA on Friday that two bombers blew themselves up and remains of their bodies were found at the site of the blasts.
He confirmed that 89 people, including 13 Afghans, were killed in the twin blasts.
The interior ministry official specified that 36 men and 53 women were killed in the tragic event, from whom 9 were children and 30 were 18.
Mirahmadi also said that some people have been arrested in connection with the attacks in 5 cities in 5 provinces. The detailed report on the arrests will be issued by security bodies in the coming hours, he added.
The Daesh terror group claimed responsibility for the blasts that happened while large crowds of people had gathered near the resting place of Iran’s top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani to mark his fourth assassination anniversary.
