The gunman who killed 15 people earlier this week at a major Shiite shrine in southern Iran died on Saturday. This information has been given in the news of Iranian media.
The terrorist organization Islamic State claimed responsibility for this attack, but the Iranian government blamed the protests spread in the country. According to Iran’s semi-official Fars and Tasnim news agencies, Iranian authorities have not disclosed details about the attacker.
The attacker died on Saturday in a hospital in the southern city of Shiraz. He had suffered injuries during his arrest. It is unusual that authorities have not provided any information about the gunman’s nationality or identity. On Wednesday, he carried out a deadly attack on Shah Chirag, the second holiest shrine of the Shia community in Iran.
This attack has been done at a time when anti-hijab protests are taking place in Iran. At least 270 people have died and more than 14,000 have been arrested in the protests, which have spread to more than 125 cities in the country, according to an Iranian human rights activist group.
