Sentenced in Iran.

Iran has sentenced to death three men convicted of a mosque bombing which left 14 people dead in the southern city of Shiraz in April, Kayhan newspaper reported on Saturday.

Prosecutor Ali Akbar Heidari-Far said Mohsen Eslamian, 21, and Ali Asghar Pashtar, 20—both university students—and Rouzbeh Yahyazadeh, 32, would be hanged in Shiraz once the sentence was confirmed by the supreme court.

“A revolutionary court in Tehran has found the three main accused of the case to be ‘mohareb’ (enemies of God) and ‘corrupt on the earth’,” he said, without disclosing when the verdict was issued.
