Three policemen killed in terrorist attack in Iran

Three policemen were killed in a terrorist attack in Iran's southwestern province of Khuzestan on Thursday, Press TV reported.

The on-duty police officers were killed when unidentified gunmen opened fire at a temporary police station, which was set up for the Nawroz (New Year) holidays in the city of Hamidiyeh, a provincial deputy police chief was quoted as saying.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had claimed in April 2014 to have busted a major terrorism and sabotage network in Khuzestan which is partially populated by people of Arab ethnicity.
