Iran executes Jundollah's Abdolhamid Rigi...

Al Jaz-English/ here

"... Rigi's hanging took place in the southeastern city of Zahedan on Monday.

"The judiciary decided not to carry out the sentence in public because of some security issues," Ebrahim Hamidi, a judiciary official in Sistan-Baluchestan, said. .......He was captured in Pakistan in 2008 and extradited to Iran.....

Rigi was the brother of Abdolmalek Rigi, the alleged leader of Jundollah who is awaiting trial in an Iranian prison. Abdolmalek was arrested by Iranian security forces February 23 2010. "He is only 30 years old," our Tehran correspondent said. "And he faces execution like his brother."
