Authorities in Iran just hanged three people who were involved in killing fourteen people and injuring two hundred others while bombing a mosque that held over one thousand worshippers. The people were guilty of having links to the United States and planning to destabilize Iran through a campaign of bombings and assassinations. The three people were part of the Iran Royal Association a monarchist group that will overthrow the country's ruling Islamic establishment. It was such a shock to the people who live there because bombs are not common there because it is a place where people come to tour. It was a city called Shiraz a city in Iran.

I think that these people got what they deserved. It would not have been fair for them to sit in jail and think about what they have done when so many people were hurt and killed. I have never agreed with hanging someone unless what they have done is for good reason, and this is one of those cases where they should have been hanged. Back in the day when people would get hanged for stealing isn’t so fair, but something like this is totally fair. Any kind of bomb is dangerous and many more people could have been killed from this.

I agree completely. This almost sounds like 9/11 with the roles reversed and on a smaller scale. If you kill, you should be killed. Especially if you kiil that many people.

I believed the should have been killed for the Mosque bombing, because it just wrong to kill those many people and live, so forth the killers deserve some type of cruel punishment.
