Iran executes man for "terrorist" acts

An Iranian man was hanged Thursday for his role in "terrorist operations", the Kayhan newspaper reported on Wednesday. According to the paper, Ahmad Sariz was a member of Jundollah (God's soldiers), a group Iran has said has links to al-Qaeda.

The group has claimed responsibility for several attacks in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan, including a deadly bombing of a bus belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guards last

month.  Bystanders chanted "death to America" and "death to rebels" at the execution. (Reuters)
