    Nine killed in Iran parade bomb

    </span>Nine Iranians have been killed and 20 wounded in a bomb attack on a military parade in the north-western Kurdish town of Mahabad, local media report.

    Many of the dead and injured were women and children watching the parade, reports said.

    A provincial governor blamed Kurdish separatists for the attack, Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency said.
