| [DAWN] A member of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards was killed and five maimed in an armed attack in the restive southeast on Saturday, the official IRNA news agency reported. The attack took place in Sistan-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, long a flashpoint, where separatists carry out cross-border raids. The assailants struck a base of the Basij militia in the town of Nikshahr, some way from the border, IRNA said. "Morteza Ali-Mohammadi was martyred in the incident and the five critically injured have been transferred to the hospital," Nikshahr's prosecutor Mohsen Golmohammadi told the semi-official YJC news agency. The krazed killer Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), which is blacklisted as a terrorist group by Iran, grabbed credit for the raid on social media. State media said only that it was a "terrorist" attack, and held no particular group responsible. Jaish al-Adl was formed in 2012 as a successor to the Sunni bad boy 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... (Soldiers of God), which waged a deadly insurgency against Iranian targets over the previous decade. |
