Iranian opposition leader attacked with homemade bombs

A website supporting Iran’s reform movement says assailants have attacked the home of an opposition leader with homemade bombs and wounded one of his bodyguards, in an apparent attempt to keep him from attending a key rally on Friday.

The Associated Press reports that Mahdi Karroubi’s guards had to fire gunshots in the air to clear crowds that broke down the door of his home after days of gatherings outside.

Further details: Associated Press and the Times of India.
