In two Pakistani cities, pro-Khomeini Iranians armed with automatic weapons and grenade launchers attacked supporters of the Moujahedeen, the main Iranian opposition group. Two people were killed and 19 injured, said police, who recovered grenade launchers, grenades and automatic weapons and arrested six people after the fighting in Karachi and Quetta.
