In Pictures: City of Shiraz After Riots
Independent Aggregator of Iran-related Events/News, Kodoom.com:
Iranian sources have published images of widespread damage inflicted on buildings in Shiraz, from gas stations to banks, shops, government and religious foundations.
The wave of protests and riots that started on Saturday in Iran, triggered by gasoline rationing and price increases, quickly spread across the country. Several Special Anti-riot Police Force officers, including a commander, are confirmed as killed in action during gun battles with rioters. This is the first time rioters (or what Iranian government labels as foreign agents) use weapons in clashes with security forces during protest rallies. Fars News confirms some riot suppression officers were injured with weapons such as Winchester guns, while others were run over by cars or stabbed by mobs.
