A terrorist bombing attack has targeted the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini in southern Tehran, wounding three pilgrims at the site.

The suicide bomber himself was killed in the blast that rocked the northern entrance of the shrine of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, on Saturday, IRNA reported.

The report added that two of the wounded are Arab nationals who suffered minor injuries. The third casualty was an Iranian citizen.

Earlier reports said two people had been killed and eight others injured in the suicide attack.
