A foreign attacker who killed two clerics in a stabbing incident in Iran’s northeastern city of Mashhad in April was hanged on Monday, Iranian media reported. 

Abdullatif Muradi, 21, a man of Uzbek descent, stabbed three clergymen at the shrine of the eighth Shiite Imam in Mashhad on April 5, killing two and injuring a third.

He had reportedly entered Iran illegally from Pakistan a year earlier and had been living in Mashhad.
