Iranian security forces have arrested all perpetrators of a recent terrorist attack in the southern province of Khuzestan.

At least two people were killed and two others sustained injuries after masked assailants opened fire on a group of people who were holding a mourning ceremony for Imam Hussein, the third Shiite imam, in Safiabad, a town in Dezful county in Khuzestan Province, on October 16.
