Iran says it has executed ringleader of the Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group Abdolmalek Rigi, who was arrested earlier as he was preparing to launch a new round of attacks on the country.
Iranian security forces arrested Rigi on February 23, while he was on a flight from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan.
Rigi was charged with 79 counts of various crimes. Iranian prosecutors had demanded the death penalty for him.
