Iran arrests 10 suspects in suicide bombing that killed two
2018-12-10
[AlAhram] Iranian security forces have detained 10 people suspected of links to a suicide car kaboom this week that killed at least two coppers, police chief Hossein Ashtari said on Sunday.

"Good clues have been obtained and hopefully with the public’s cooperation ... we will get to the main leads," Ashtari was quoted by the state news agency IRNA as saying.

More suspects have been identified and are being sought, Ashtari added.

At least 48 people were also injured in Thursday’s suicide car kaboom by a Sunni murderous Moslem group on a police headquarters in the port city of Chabahar in southeast Iran, according to state media.

While suicide kabooms are rare in Iran, Sunni murderous Moslem groups have carried out several attacks on security forces in recent years in Sistan-Baluchestan province, where Chabahar is located.

The province is home to a Sunni minority in the largely Shi’ite country, and it has also long been plagued by violence from both drug smugglers and separatists.

The U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group and Iranian state media reported that Sunni Baluch murderous Moslem group Ansar al-Furqan
...the Sunni Arab jihadi/separatist group based along the Iranian border with Pakistan’s Baluchistan province. It’s been a thorn in the Iranian side for the past quarter century...
had grabbed credit for the attack.

Tehran accuses its Sunni-led regional rival Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and its arch-enemy, the United States, of funding Sunni murderous Moslems, a charge Riyadh and Washington deny.

Iran has threatened to hit murderous Moslem bases in neighboring Pakistain unless Islamabad took action to secure its border area, which Tehran says has become a safe haven for anti-Iran groups to operate.
