[Iran Press TV] Iranian border police have jugged seven armed Afghans after crossing the border into the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
| The Iranians do an awful lot of border crossing. In Iraqi Kurdistan they picked up the three American hikers, in the Gulf they picked up a boatload of British sailors, now some Afghan troops. Back in the days of the famous Persian miniatures, they used to be so much better at colouring inside the lines. |
"Border police officers jugged six ranking officers and one soldier, who were armed, after they crossed the Sistan-Baluchestan border," Iranian border police commander Brigadier General Hossein Zolfaqari said on Sunday.
| Sorry, y'all don't have much credibility on the subject, Brigadier General. |
Zolfaqari said the Afghan servicemen, who crossed the Iranian border in a vehicle with fake license plates, were stopped and jugged by border police.
| All those other kidnappings came with claims of border crossings, too. Still no credibility. |
"A large amount of ammunition, one rocket-propelled grenade and six rifles were discovered and confiscated from the [detained] individuals," ISNA quoted the Iranian official as saying.
"The detainees claimed they were patrolling the area, looking for Taliban and they also claimed they did not intend to cross into Iran," Zolfaqari said.
| And they probably hadn't done so. |
The Iranian commander said that their cases are under investigation by the country's judiciary.
| Corrupt judiciary is the correct phrase, O Iran PressTV journalist. |
