Violence in Iran After Election

Violence has dropped markedly in Iraq in recent months, with May seeing the lowest Iraqi death toll since the 2003 US-led invasion, but there are fears of a dramatic increase as US troops pull out of cities and major towns by June 30. Three school students died in another bombing in Sadr City on Monday, one of a string of blasts that killed 27 people across Iraq that day Iran's deputy police chief, Ahmad Reza Radan, told the official Islamic Republic News Agency that about 170 people have been arrested for their involvement in Saturday's protests. He said 10 of those arrested were "main planners" and 50 were "rioters." The others were arrested for being at the site of the clashes, he said. Some of the detained were active in Mousavi's campaign headquarters or had relations with foreign media, he said.
