February 14, 2007 -- Iran has hanged three people for carrying out deadly bombings in southwestern Khuzestan Province one year ago.

Reports say the executions were carried out in front of the victims' families. The bombing in January 2006 took place in the provincial capital of Ahvaz.

More than 10 people have been executed for involvement in recent attacks in Ahvaz. The oil-rich province has a large ethnic-Arab population.
