Jundollah suicide bombers kills 20 people in Zahedan - Iran 15 July 2010

More than 20 people have been killed and over 100 others have been wounded after two explosions hit the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan in Sistan-Baluchestan Province.

Iran's state-run news agency IRNA reported that the first blast occurred at 9:20 PM local time in front of the entrance of Zahedan's main mosque and that the second explosion followed shortly after.

Among those killed were members of the elite Revolutionary Guard, who were stationed at a nearby military checkpoint.

The Sunni rebel group Jundollah claimed responsibility in a statement posted on its website.

The statement said that two of the group's young members, named as Aziz Mohammad Rigi and Mojahed Abdol Baset, carried out suicide attacks "among members of the Revolutionary Guard who were celebrating Pasdar Day (eds: Revolutionary Guard Day)."

The statement called the suicide attacks a response to the "crimes" of the Iranian government in Baluchistan, who, according to the group, had thought that they could stop the group's activity by executing its leader.

Jundollah's leader, Abdolmalek Rigi, was hanged in Iran last month for his role in earlier deadly attacks in Iran after being captured in February. The group had vowed to avenge his execution.
