]]>  Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has condemned terrorist attack on a synagogue in Pittsburgh which left 11 people dead.

“Extremism and terrorism know no race or religion, and must be condemned in all cases. The world deserves better than to have to live with weaponized demagoguery. Thoughts and prayers with victims of terrorist attack on Pittsburgh synagogue and their loved ones,” he tweeted on Monday.

A gunman opened fire inside a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and killed 11 people and wounded six others.

Robert Bowers, the suspect, 46-year-old local resident who is charged with 11 counts of using a firearm to commit murder and multiple counts of two hate crimes: obstruction of the exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death and obstruction of the exercise of religious beliefs resulting in bodily injury to a public safety officer, authorities said, citing a sealed criminal complaint.

U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Pennsylvania said in a statement, “The crimes of violence are based upon the federal civil rights laws prohibiting hate crimes.”

Bowers could face the death penalty if he is convicted of a hate crime, according to CNN.

]]> TEHRAN- A manhunt was underway in western Pennsylvania early Saturday for a suspect in the fatal shooting of a police officer Friday night in a town outside Pittsburgh.

Authorities have recovered a brown, older model Jeep Grand Cherokee wanted in connection with the slaying, Fox news reported.

SWAT teams and police dogs were assisting local authorities as they scoured the neighboring towns early Saturday.

The shooting occurred shortly after 8 p.m. EST in New Kensington, while the officer was conducting a traffic stop, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported, citing information from the Westmoreland County Department of Public Safety.

Multiple police agencies responded to a “shots fired” call after the officer initially radioed that the stop was underway, the paper reported.

The officer, who was not identified, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous, the paper reported.
