Iran/Security: Tehran puts 10 terrorists on trial

Iranian Police Officials reported that ten suspects accused of belonging to Jundallah terrorist group went on trial in Tehran on Tuesday. The suspected terrorists are facing trial for plotting attacks in retaliation for the arrest of their leader Abdolmalek Rigi, who was executed two days ago for involvement in attacks on the predominantly Shi'ite Islamic state.

Iranian ISNA News Agency reported that 10 associates of Abdolmalek Rigi have been accused of Moharebeh (waging war against God) by supporting and becoming members of the Jundallah group.

Iran executed Rigi, the leader of the Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group on Sunday, three months after his arrest by Iranian Security Forces on February 23.

According to Judiciary Official, Rigi was charged with 79 counts of armed robbery, bombing operations, and armed attacks on civilians.

Reportedly, Jundallah has links to Al-Qaeda and support from Pakistan, Britain and the United States. However, all three countries denied backing it.
