TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran hanged the convicted leader of a Sunni Muslim rebel group on Sunday for his involvement in attacks in the Islamic state, state television reported.

“Abdolmalek Rigi was hanged at dawn today…he was convicted for many crimes like being behind many deadly attacks…and killing dozens of innocent people,” state television said.
