Three sentenced to death for Iran bombing
An Iranian court sentences three men to death for bombing a mosque in the southern city of Shiraz and killing a number of people. Iranian Judiciary spokesman Ali-Reza Jasmshidi said on Thursday that three men among a total of 15 people arrested as part of the case had been sentenced to death. Seven of the suspected terrorists have been charged with involvement in the attack, three of whom have confessed to being brainwashed by a Western terrorist cell. The bombing, one of Iran's most fatal terrorist acts, claimed the lives of 14 people and injured almost 208 others in April 12, 2008. Iran says the attack had been carried out by individuals who were trained and financed by Israeli, US and British spy agencies. Jamshidi earlier warned that the Islamic Republic might press charges against the United States, Britain and Israel over their involvement in the bombing. Posted by: Fred 2009-02-13 |
