Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib announced on Monday that the Iranian security forces identified and detained the second culprit of the Shah-e-Cheragh terrorist attack that killed 15, including children and women. 

According to the Minister's statement, the terrorist was arrested in Shiraz, adding that popular and public reports facilitated the capture of the terrorist by the security forces. As a result, Khatib emphasized the need for the public to have an active role in anti-rioters rallies.

In his statement, Khatib also announced that six people who were operating as supporting agents to the terrorist were also identified and arrested.

Esmail Mohebbi-Pour, the deputy director of political, security, and social affairs at Fars provincial governor's office, told IRNA News Agency that the second terrorist had not entered the Shah-e-Cheragh shrine but was supporting the main perpetrator and communicated plans to him.

Mohebbi-Pour added that Iran's intelligence forces are seriously pursuing to find any other clues, factors, and elements related to the Shiraz terrorist attack, adding that the terrorists will be handed over to justice.

On October 26, an armed terrorist entered the Shah-e-Cheragh shrine at approximately 5:45 pm local time (14:15 GMT) a little before the evening prayers and opened fire, killing 15 pilgrims, including a woman and two children in cold blood, and leaving at least 40 others wounded. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.

On the same day, Iran's police and security forces foiled a bombing attempt in Shiraz. The perpetrator of the failed bombing was identified and arrested. 

Shiraz witnessed on Saturday the funeral procession attended by tens of thousands of people for the victims of Wednesday's terrorist attack. 

Chants against the US, "Israel", Saudi Arabia, and the UK rang through the city by participants for their backing of ISIS, as pictures of the victims were held up high alongside demands that those responsible be held accountable.
