According to The Associated Press, the Iranian state TV said the attack on Friday, Oct 19, in a volatile region near the Pakistani border was a "terrorist attack."

As he started to run away, he set off his explosives, killing a passer-by and wounding several people, including policemen. It was unclear if the explosives were detonated by accident.
