Earlier, “Stefan Dujarric”, the spokesman of the United Nations Secretary General, condemned the terrorist attack on Wednesday evening in the sacred shrine of Shahcheragh (PBUH).
In this regard, the spokesperson of the UN Secretary General stated: Attacking a religious place in Iran deserves condemnation and we condemn all terrorist acts.
Sardar Reham Bakhsh Habibi, the police commander of Fars, told reporters: “At the time of the Maghrib call to prayer, a person entered the shrine of Shahcheragh (AS) from the entrance door of Bab al-Reza (AS) and shot at the servants from the front door.
Pointing out that after this shot, the said terrorist also shot at the pilgrims, he said: Finally, this terrorist was wounded and arrested at the same entrance.
He said that the arrested person is being treated and interrogated.
On the other hand, Mustafa Bahraini, in a conversation with reporters, pointed out that Fars province and Shiraz city enjoyed good security and peace prevailed during these days of riots, adding: This issue was not pleasing to the enemies and they created this heartbreaking incident.
