Iran's official news agency says three people have been hanged for their involvement in the boming of a mosque that killed 25 people.

IRNA quoted a statement issued by the local judiciary department as saying that the three, Haji Nouti Zehi, Gholam Rasoul Shahoo Zehi and Zabihollah Naroui, were hanged Saturday ahead of the funeral of those killed in southeastern Iran.

The report said the three rovided explosive materials for the men who carried out the Thursday bombing in Zahedan, 1,000 miles southeat of the capital Tehran.

A Sunni militant group seen linked to al-Qaida, Jundallah or God's Brigade, has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
