Embassy of Iran in New Delhi will open a condolence book on January 5 for the victims of Kerman bombing to pay respect to the 105 Iranians killed in the twin blast.
The twin blasts in Kerman took place when a crowd was commemorating the fourth death anniversary of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in Baghdad in a U.S. drone attack. Iran has said the blasts were a “terrorist attack”. At least 211 were injured in the incident.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. Earlier on Thursday, a senior official in U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration said the blasts appeared to represent “a terrorist attack” of the type carried out in the past by Islamic State militants.
