[Iran Press TV Latest] Two members of the Jundullah terrorist group who were involved in terrorism in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan have been executed. "Abdolhamid Rigi, brother of the notorious terrorist leader Abdolmalek Rigi, was hanged in provincial capital city Zahedan Saturday morning," ISNA quoted a source in the Justice Administration of Sistan-Baluchestan.
Pakistani authorities handed over Abdolhamid Rigi and three other members of the Jundullah group to Iran last year. Reza Qalandarzehi was also executed on Saturday on the same charges. The Pakistan-based Jundullah terror group claimed responsibility for a major terrorist attack in a mosque in Zahedan near Iran's southeastern border with Afghanistan and Pakistan. The bomb blast killed 25 people and wounded 125 others last week. | |
