Tehran, Iran, Aug. 27 – An agent of Iran’s State Security Forces was killed in the town of Tonekabon, northern Iran, early Thursday morning, Iran’s press reported on Saturday.

The incident occurred at one in the morning when two SSF agents attempted to detain a young man, the hard-line daily Kayhan wrote.

It quoted Hojjatoleslam Najafi, head of the ideological-politico branch of the SSF in Tonekabon as saying that the SSF officer, identified as Mehdi Fahimi, was stabbed several times by a man called as Mehrdad Susan. The paper did not mention on what grounds Susan was being arrest or whether he was subsequently detained.
