The official news agency IRNA said the clashes in the region of Mian-Doab, not far from the city of Mahabad in the northwest, occurred Wednesday when police moved in to pull down "heretical" banners in the village of Oush-Tapeh.
According to the Iranian Internet news site Baztab, which is close to a conservative figure in the Islamic regime, the men who attacked the police were part of a religious cult called the Ali-Allahi (roughly meaning "Ali is God").
