Gunman kills one and injures eight in attack on Shah Cheragh shrine in Iran

Governor says man has been detained after attack on Shia shrine in southern city of Shiraz

A gunman opened fire on Sunday night at a prominent shrine in southern Iran, killing one person and wounding eight others in an attack that followed another assault there months earlier, authorities said.

Officials offered no immediate motive for the attack in the city of Shiraz at Shah Cheragh, which draws Shia pilgrims to its domed mosque and the tomb of a prominent member of the faith from its earliest days.
