Iran executes ringleader of US-based group over terror attacks
Iran has executed the ringleader of a US-based terror group carrying behind heinous operations against the Iranian nation.
Jamshid Sharmahd, who was convicted last year, was executed on Monday, according to the Iranian Judiciary's Mizan news agency citing a statement by the Tehran Prosecutor-General's Office on Monday.
At the behest of his masters in Western intelligence agencies, Sharmard has for years designed numerous terrorist operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran. the statement said.
Sharmard, who was responsible for the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of innocent Iranians, was ultimately sentenced by a competent court and received his due punishment on October 28, it added.
The Revolutionary Court of Tehran had handed Sharmahd the death sentence for committing "corruption on earth” by planning and orchestrating terrorist acts in the Islamic Republic.
The terrorist ringleader, who held German citizenship but was also a US resident, led the Tondar (Thunder) pro-monarchist group.
He was behind a series of terrorist attacks, including a 2008 attack against a religious congregation center in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, which killed 14 people, including 5 women and an infant, and wounded hundreds more.
Iranian intelligence officers have been successfully able to arrest many foreign-linked spies involved in acts of sabotage against the nation and facilities in the past decades. The arrests made in Iran have included members of two Mossad-linked spy teams.
