KABUL (Pajhwok): The caretaker government has denounced a knife attack in Iran’s Mashad city and rejected allegations regarding the involvement of Afghans in the incident.
One person was killed and two others were injured on Tuesday when a man attacked three people with a knife in the Imam Raza shrine in Mashad.
Soon after the incident, some Iranian media outlets reported that the attacker was an Afghan who recently entered Iran illegally.
Subsequently, some Afghan refugees were attacked and some Iranians demanded the expulsion of Afghans from the neighbouring country.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the government, tweeted that . . .
