Soldiers hurt by blast at Iran military base

An explosion at an Iranian military training base injured several servicemen on Tuesday, the official IRNA news agency reported.          

The cause of the blast, at a base in Khoramabad in western Iran, was not given. IRNA said several soldiers were taken to hospital but did not say how many were hurt or how seriously.

Last month a bomb killed 12 people and injured 80 in the city of Mahabad which authorities blamed on "anti-revolutionary" militants backed by Iran's foreign enemies.
