A funeral procession has been held in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz for victims of a recent terror attack on a local holy shrine. Thousands of mourners turned out for the funeral service on Saturday.

They chanted slogans, condemning terrorism and those behind the heinous crime.

At least 13 people were confirmed dead in the terrorist attack on Wednesday evening, among them women and children. Over two dozen were also wounded.

A gunman started shooting from one of the entrances of the shrine, Shah Cheragh.
He then headed to the main compound firing at pilgrims and staff.
