Iranian Security Forces Kill At Least Four In Teheran

The AP and Jerusalem Post report that fierce "clashes broke out between opposition supporters and security forces in Teheran Sunday, according to witness reports. On Saturday, a reformist Web site reported similar clashes in the center of the Iranian capitol. The Rah-e-Sabz site had said forces including the Revolutionary Guard and paramilitary Basij forces confronted demonstrators and broke the windows of cars that were honking horns in protest. Iran is marking the first 10 days of the Islamic month of Moharram, a time of mourning rituals for a revered Shi'ite saint."

The Telegraph reports that the "Jaras website said protesters died in clashes between opposition supporters and security forces in the capital, without giving details. 'Three of our compatriots were martyred and two were injured in clashes. The reporter who was on the scene said these three were directly shot at by military forces,' said the website. It said the clashes took place near College bridge in the middle of Enghelab street. It said a fourth protester was also killed near Vali Asr intersection on Enghelab. 'The people are carrying the body of this martyr and are shouting slogans,' it said citing eyewitnesses."
