A bombing attack in Iran claimed by the Islamic State extremist group has killed 91 people, state media said on January 6, raising an earlier toll after two victims died of their wounds. The two blasts in Kerman on January 3 hit crowds at a memorial ceremony near the tomb of Qasem Soleimani, a revolutionary guards general killed in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in January 2020. "The death toll... reached 91 after two people, including a child, hospitalized in intensive care, succumbed to their injuries," official news agency IRNA quoted a health official as saying.
