Dubai, Aug 29 (AP) A gas leak caused the death of one person and injured 10 others at an Iranian Revolutionary Guard centre, Iranian state television reported.
     The leak occurred at a workshop belonging to the Guard in Isfahan province and the injured people were transferred to a hospital for medical treatment, the report said.
     The report did not say how the people were injured or give other details.
     The gas leak happened while tensions have remained high since Hamas' top political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed on July 31 in the Iranian capital.
     Iran accused Israel of the death of Haniyeh, but Israel has not taken responsibility for the assassination. Iranian top officials vowed to retaliate against Israel for the killing of Haniyeh.
     Earlier in April, Iranian troops fired air defences at a major air base and a nuclear site near the central city of Isfahan, an assault coming in retaliation for Tehran's unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on Israel. (AP) GRS
