- Share via
MANJIL, Iran — French and Iranian relief teams rescued at least seven people, including a mother and her 12-year-old son, who were buried for five days in the rubble from the earthquake in Iran, the official media said today.
In another development, field tribunals were being set up in Rudbar and Manjil to try “criminals who are abusing the situation” in the ravaged northwestern area, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. IRNA appeared to be referring either to looters or profiteers operating after last Thursday’s quake.
The agency also said at least 50 aftershocks were recorded Tuesday night and today. More than 400 aftershocks have occurred since the quake struck.
