Suicide bomber kills senior Iran Guards commanders
TEHRAN (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed around 20 people, including two senior Revolutionary Guards commanders, in southeastern Iran on Sunday, Iranian media reported.
Another 40 people were wounded in the most severe attack on the Revolutionary Guards in recent years.
State television suggested that a Sunni rebel group called Jundollah (God's soldiers) -- linked by some analysts to the Taliban in neighbouring Pakistan -- was the likely suspect for the attack.
"Attacker detonated explosives strapped to his body during gathering of tribal heads," state Press TV said in a headline, adding that civilians and tribal leaders were also among the victims.
The Revolutionary Guards blamed "foreign elements" linked to the United States for the killings, which underlined deepening instability in Iran's southeast bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan.
