<p>The death toll in twin suicide bombings near a mosque in the country&#8217;s southeast has risen to 38, it has been reported.</p>
<p>The IRNA news agency said the dead included women and children.</p>
<p>Wednesday&#8217;s attack took place in the port city of Chahbahar, near the border with Pakistan. </p>
<p>The bombs targeted a group of worshippers at a mourning ceremony a day before Ashoura, which commemorates the seventh century death of the Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s grandson Hussein, one of Shiite Islam&#8217;s most beloved saints.</p>
<p>The area of Iran is home to an armed Sunni militant group, Jundallah, or Soldiers of God, which has waged sporadic attacks to fight alleged discrimination against the area&#8217;s Sunni minority in overwhelmingly Shiite Iran.</p>
<p>There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the use of multiple suicide attackers to target Shiite worshippers is a tactic the group has employed in the past.</p>
<p>One of the attackers detonated a bomb outside the mosque and the other struck from inside a crowd of worshippers, state TV reported.</p>
<p>Mahmoud Mozaffar, a senior Iranian Red Crescent Society official, said emergency services had been put on alert over the past few days because of anonymous threats, according to another news agency, ISNA.</p>
<p>In July, two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a mosque in the same province, Sistan-Baluchestan, killing at least 28 people. Jundallah said that attack was revenge for the execution of its leader, Abdulmalik Rigi, in June.</p>
<p>That strike in the provincial capital, Zahedan, also targeted Shiite worshippers during a holiday, the birthday of Hussein, the prophet&#8217;s grandson.</p>
