DUBAI: Gunmen shot dead a public prosecutor and his driver in southeastern Iran on Wednesday, Iranian media said, less than two weeks after militants killed 14 Iranian border guards nearby and Tehran retaliated by hanging 16 prisoners.
The gunmen shot dead public prosecutor Musa Nouri and his driver as he was on his way to work, Iranian news agencies said. The pair were “martyred in a hail of bullets from Kalashnikov rifles”, Fars news agency quoted the province's chief justice Ibrahim Hamidi as saying.
