Tehran, Iran, Sep. 04 An Iranian man was hanged in the town of Iranshahr, in Irans south-eastern Baluchistan Province, a semi-official daily reported on Sunday.
The man, identified as Houshang Bameri, was hanged at 9 am Saturday morning, the hard-line Jomhouri Islami wrote. He was accused of killing two para-military security agents.
Baluchistan Province, home to Irans minority Baluchis, has witnessed a string of clashes between government troops and insurgents in recent months. Baluchis, unlike Irans Shiite clerical rulers, adhere to the Sunni branch of Islam.
