Tehran Gunman Assassinates Two Top Iranian Judges
-------------------------------------------------

In Iran, a gunman assassinated two high-profile judges who served on
Iran's Supreme Court. The attack took place at the Palace of Justice in
Tehran on Saturday. Both of the judges were clerics who had faced
threats before for their role in the mass execution of Iranian
dissidents in 1988.
