US president condemns terrorist act in Iran

US president Barack Obama has roundly condemned the terrorist acts in Iran. «I strongly condemn the deplorable terrorist act near a mosque in south-eastern Iran. Killing people in a house of prayer is an unforgivable crime and those who commited it must be prosecuted», Obama said, according to RIA-NOVOSTI.
Two bombs exploded in Zahedan, the centre of the province of Sistan and Beludzhistan, on Thursday evening in front of a mosque. The terrorists were relatives of the leader of the Sunni insurrectionist group «Dzhundullah», Abdulmalek Rigi, who was hanged by the Iranian authorities at the beginning of July. The group, related to «Al-Qaeda», called the explosions an answer for the leader's death. «The USA supports the families and relatives of the dead and injured and the Iranian people in the face of injustice. The world must stand firm against all forms of terrorism and support the univeral human right to life without fear and senseless cruelty», Obama said.
