Iran has executed three men convicted of participating in a string of deadly bombings in the southwestern city of Ahvaz last year, government newspaper Iran reported on Thursday. | Iran has blamed Britain, which has troops close by in Iraq, for fomenting the instability. Britain denies the charge. |
The three men hanged on Wednesday had been convicted of placing bombs outside the governorÂ’s office and a bank. They were among a group of 10 convicted of participating in the bomb attacks, Iran said. Iran hanged two men in Ahvaz in March after they were convicted of a bombing that killed six people last October.
