Death toll rises to 17 in Iran terror attacks

Iran's authorities have raised the death toll in a pair of attacks on Iran's parliament and the mausoleum of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to 17 people killed.

The state-run IRNA news agency reported the increase Thursday, citing the head of the country's forensic center Ahmad Shojaei.

Shojaei earlier told state television that "three of the victims are women." He did not elaborate.

Iranian authorities have said assailants were Iranian nationals, adding they have arrested six suspects, including one woman, since the attack Wednesday in Tehran. Over 40 people were wounded in the attack.
