Saveh, Central Prov, Oct 22 , IRNA -- A severe storm demolished a wall at a mosque in Saveh city, southwest of Tehran, on Friday killing two Friday prayers and injuring 22 others.

Parts of the unfinished building collapsed because of the storm,
which according to the meteorologists, was moving at a speed of 108
kilometers an hour [88 km/hr equates to 55 mph].

Two of the wounded who were in critical condition were transferred
to Arak and Tehran and the others were hospitalized in Saveh.
