BEIJING (AP) -- China has executed two men who committed deadly attacks that killed dozens in November and raised concerns about a surge in what are called "revenge on society crimes," state media reported Monday.

Fan Weiqu, 62, who rammed his car into a crowd outside a sports stadium in the southern city of Zhuhai, killing at least 35 people, was executed on Monday. The attack was the country's deadliest in over a decade, according to authorities. Police said Fan was upset over his divorce settlement.
