 One of the two suicide bombers who carried out a terrorist attack near a cemetery in Kerman, Iran, was a native of Tajikistan. The identity of the second perpetrator is being established, Mehr agency reports, citing the Iranian Ministry of Information and National Security.

“The next morning, the residence of the two dead terrorists was located in the suburbs of Kerman,” the report said.

A total of 12 people were arrested in the case, and the investigation into the terrorist attack, which killed at least 88 people, continues.

On January 3, two suicide bombers carried out an explosion on the road that leads to the cemetery where the former commander of the elite Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), General Qassem Soleimani, is buried. He was killed exactly four years ago as a result of a US airstrike at the airport in Baghdad (Iraq). There were many people there at the time of the explosion.

The IS terrorist group, banned in Russia, claimed responsibility for the attack .
