province, officials said. "Five Iranian soldiers who were kidnapped in early February by bully boyz and taken across the border into Pakistain have been freed," Iranian army's deputy chief of staff confirmed.
Initially, the security officials had said that those freed did not include the Iranian border guards. "The freed hostages are not thought to be the guards but believed to be connected to narco mobs operating in the province and to have been held hostage by them," the officials had said.
An Death Eater group calling itself Jaish-ul Adl, or Army of Justice, had grabbed credit for the kidnapping. The group posted pictures on its Facebook page it said were of the soldiers, handcuffed and being held in an unknown location.
Diplomatic ties between Iran and Pakistain touched a fresh low last week over fate of the kidnapped guards, when Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani-Fazli threatened Pakistain that Tehran may send forces into Pakistain to free them.
