TEHRAN, June 21 (Reuters) - Iranian state television on Sunday corrected its earlier report that "a few" people were killed inside a mosque set on fire during unrest in Tehran on Saturday.

"In the setting on fire of Lolagar mosque none of our citizens inside the mosque were killed," state television said, adding it apologised for the mistake. (Reporting Zahra Hosseinian; Writing by Fredrik Dahl; Editing by Jon Hemming)
