| 2006-01-08 |
| Iran intends to tighten security on its borders, especially in the southeast, to help its citizens lead a tranquil life, said a top official here on Saturday. Interior Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi told reporters that anti-security factors on the borders, particularly along the borders of southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province, have been growing, prompting officials to adopt extensive measures to guarantee security in the area. Referring to the kidnapping of Iranian border guards in the southeastern parts of the country, Pourmohammadi said based on information at hand, the kidnapped individuals are kept in an area 50 kilometers from the border and negotiations are underway for their safe return home. |
