TEHRAN (Reuters) - A bomb blast in a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday killed several Iranians and injured at least 20 others, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

"During the speech of a cleric in the Shohada mosque in Shiraz city, a bomb blast killed several people," Fars quoted an unnamed source as saying.

Earlier, state television said the blast happened in central Iran, without giving details.

It must have been even bigger, or they wouldn’t have admitted it.

The content and the title does not match the BBC article you linked to in the thread area, nor does it match the complete article you posted in your first response.

I’m going to pull this so that you can repost this using the correct links, correct sources and correct titles.

Thanks.
