Bombs kill 8 in Iran

Bombs killed eight people and wounded 75 in Iran on Sunday in a rare string of attacks five days before a presidential election.

Security is tight in the Islamic republic, where bombings have been almost unheard of in the past decade.

Four bombs in Ahvaz, capital of the partly Arabic-speaking province of Khuzestan, where most of Iran's oil reserves lie, targeted government buildings, killing seven people, provincial officials said.

Hours later, a bomb in the capital Tehran killed one person.
