Twin bombs hit Iran mosque

ZAHEDAN, Iran, Back-to-back bombs outside a Shiite mosque in Zahedan, Iran, Thursday night killed more than 20 people and injured about 100, authorities said.

The Iranian news agency IRNA said one explosion occurred outside the mosque about 9:30 p.m. local time and was followed by a second blast a few minutes later.

Local officials said the bombs were set off by suicide attackers intent on dividing Shiites and Sunnis in southeastern Sistan-Balouchestan province, IRNA said.
