TEHRAN, Iran – An Iranian news agency says suspects behind the deadly attack on security forces in the southern city of Ahvaz have been arrested.

He did not elaborate.
On Monday, gunmen attacked a police station in Ahvaz, setting off a shootout that also wounded four policemen.
Ahvaz was the scene of a series of deadly bombings and shootouts blamed on Arab separatists living in the region.
