An explosion damaged part of the headquarters of IRan's revolutionary committees early Tuesday, but there were no reports of casualties. A policeman outside the building said a bomb caused the blast, but the official Pars News Agency blamed an electrical short circuit. The heat of the explosion detonated ammunition stored in the building, causing a furth er series of blasts heard over much of central Tehran.
