Iranian authorities have executed a Jundullah Sunni militant in Zahedan, in the south-east of the country, the Fars news agency has reported.

Officials named the man as Abdolhamid Rigi, but said he was not the brother of Jundullah's leader, who has the same name, the semi-official agency said. He was hanged in the Zahedan prison on Monday, Fars reported.

It is kind of suspicious that the guy being executed has the same name with Jundullah leader's brother, but it is not his brother.....wow, it sounds mathematically impossible! So 2 guys with exact same 1st name and same last name were in jail and were on death row!

They have been mistreated for to long. However, terroristic acts must be condemned regardless. Only military targets are legitimate.
