Tehran, Iran, Sep. 04 – Clashes broke out between
government forces and “bandits” in north-east Iran, according to the
semi-official daily Jomhouri Islami.
Two “bandits” were killed on Friday in armed clashes with agents of the
State Security Forces (SSF) in the town of Tayebad, Khorassan Razavi Province, the hard-line daily wrote
in its Sunday edition.
In a separate incident, agents of the SSF killed an individual during an
armed clash in the town of Khaf, the daily added.
Authorities routinely refer to anti-government activists as “bandits” and
“trouble-makers”.
