DUBAI (Reuters) - Tehran police shot dead a
man who attacked a clergyman and other people with a knife at a metro station
on Saturday, Iranian state television reported.
Hadi Tamhidi, deputy governor of the Shar-e
Rey district in south Tehran, said the unidentified man attacked the clergyman
with a knife after a dispute, and injured another man.
Police shot and wounded the assailant, who
