Two judges killed, one injured in shooting outside Iran’s supreme court

Two judges are killed in a shooting attack outside the Supreme Court building in Tehran, state media reports.

“Three judges of the Supreme Court were targeted. Two of them were martyred and one was injured,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website reports, adding that the “assailant killed himself.”

The judiciary identified the judges who were killed as ayatollahs Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini. Opposition websites have in the past said Moghiseh was involved in trials of people they described as political prisoners.
