Iran Imam Killed


A Sunni cleric has been killed in southern Iran.

The Iranian newsagency said unidentified men attacked Molavi Imam Bakhsh Naruie and then ran away.

Other details, it said, were sketchy.

The Imam led Friday prayers in Mian-Kongi near Zabul close to the Afghan border.

Officials on Sunni affairs in Baluchistan have deplored the killing.

They said criminals would not succeed in destroying the unity of Muslims.
