Tehran, July 25: Two members of the notorious Jundullah terror group have been executed over their involvement in a number of terrorist activities in Iran.
The two Jundullah militants, Ayoub Rigi and Masoud Gamshadzehi, were hanged in Zahedan prison on Saturday morning, IRNA news agency reported.
Iran’s Revolutionary Court convicted the militants of being (mofsede fel arz) (one who spreads corruption on Earth) and Mohareb (one who wages war against God).
Jundullah is a Pakistan-based terrorist group comprised of some members of the Baluch ethnic minority. The terrorist group is closely affiliated with the notorious al-Qaeda organization.
Jundullah has orchestrated a chain of deadly bombings and violent attacks in Iran. So far, it has accepted responsibility for killing at least 16 Iranian police officers in a 2008 attack, nine Iranian security guards in 2005, and another 11 in a 2007 bombing.
The militants group also claimed responsibility for a recent mosque bombing that left at least 25 Iranians dead in the southeastern city of Zahedan.
