| [DAWN] Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Friday they had killed four holy warriors who had allegedly slipped across the border from Pakistain to try to carry out an attack. They said two other holy warriors were maimed in the clash in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, with the "rest of the Lions of Islam fleeing to the soil of the neighbouring country". Sistan-Baluchestan has a large, mainly Sunni Baluchi community, which straddles the border into the Balochistan...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... province of Pakistain. Sunni group Jundallah ..."Soldiers of God," a name used by two separate terror outfits, one active in Iran and the other in Pakistain. Both are Sunni organizations that target Shiites. The Pak version has close relations with al-Qaeda and the Pak Talibs and is probably a false nose and mustache for Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... or Soldiers of God launched a bloody insurgency in the area in 2000 targeting the security forces and officials of Iran’s Shia-dominated government. The campaign peaked with a spate of deadly attacks from 2007 ‐ including twin suicide kabooms against a mosque that killed 28 people ‐ but abated after the group’s leader was killed in mid-2010. In 2012, Jundullah members formed a successor organization called Jaish al-Adl or Army of Justice, which has carried out a spate of attacks on the security forces. Iran has alleged that the group has received support from the US, British and Israeli intelligence services with the complicity of Pakistain. |
