Death toll in Kerman terrorist attack rises to 91
The death toll from the twin suicide bombings that ripped through southeastern Iran’s Kerman city on Wednesday rose to 91 after two more victims succumbed to their injuries in hospital.
Seyyed Mohammad Saberi, the head of the Medical Emergency Organization in Kerman, said an eight-year-old child and a 60-year-old man died in hospital on Friday.
The suicide bombings struck crowds in the southern city, where many had gathered to mark the fourth anniversary of the US assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani – the commander of Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
The victims include multiple women and children and at least a dozen Afghan nationals.
