Tehran: A commander of Iran’s Basij militia was shot dead by unidentified assailants on Wednesday in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, state news agency IRNA reported.
Abdolhossein Mojadami was killed by “two motorcyclists armed with a Kalashnikov and shotgun” outside his home in Darkhovin, about 70 kilometres (44 miles) south of provincial capital Ahvaz, Fars news agency said.
Fars, which is close to ultraconservatives, said Mojadami was a member of the Basij, a militia loyal to Iran’s establishment. It published a picture of him in a uniform of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with the rank of captain.
IRNA said Mojadami was among the “volunteers” who had been involved in the fight against the IS group in Syria or Iraq. (AFP)
