The deadly bombing of an Iranian school on February 28 spurred “visceral horror”, the UN rights chief said, urging Washington to conclude its probe and demanding justice “for the terrible harm done,” AFP reports.

“The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab evoked a visceral horror,” Volker Turk told the United Nations Human Rights Council, stressing that “the onus is on those who carried out the attack to investigate it promptly, impartially, transparently and thoroughly”.
