TEHRAN, Iran — A Sunni militant group whose leader was recently executed by Iranian authorities claimed responsibility Friday for one of the deadliest terrorist attacks Iran has seen in years: a double suicide bombing outside a mosque that killed 26 people and wounded 300.
In an Internet statement, Jundallah said two of its “faithful and brave sons” had detonated their bombs at a gathering of the Revolutionary Guards at a religious meeting hall in Zahedan on Thursday that commemorated the organization.
The group claims to be fighting on behalf of Sunni Muslim members of the Baluch ethnic group in Iran and Pakistan, and has been a thorn in the side of Iran’s security services for years.
