jun 12, 2005 - Ahvaz Bombings

Description:

A series of bomb explosions took place mostly in Ahvaz, Iran. The previous suppression of the Arab unrest in Ahvaz, that occurred earlier in 2005, was related to the current bombings. The first bombing occurred earlier in the presidential election on 12th June.

Two bombs were hidden in toilets within the building of the Ministry of Housing, Urban Development, at the Office of Construction and Civil Engineering. In front of the house of the governor of Khuzestan Province, the third bomb exploded. All three of these explosions were in the city center of Ahvaz. Another bomb was hidden in the doorway of the house, radio, and television. The bomb went off when the door was opened.
