Iran executes 2 for deadly Shiraz bombing

Iran executed two people who were convicted of carrying a deadly bombing in the southern city of Shiraz in 2008 that killed 13 civilians.

Tehran’s Prosecutor’s Office said Mohammad-Reza Ali-Zamani and Arash Rahmanipour were hanged on Thursday morning, Iran’s Students News Agency reported.

The two were members of the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, an obscure monarchist group that seeks to reestablish the Pahlavi reign in the country.

The group has been involved in a series of terrorist attack in the country.

The deadly Shiraz bombing claimed the lives of 13 people and left more than 200 Iranians wounded in April 2008.
