[AnNahar] Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said Monday it has tossed in the slammerI ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! three "terrorists" involved in last week's deadly suicide kaboom on security forces in a region bordering Pakistain. "Safe houses in (the cities of) Saravan and Khash were identified and eliminated, and the gunnies based in them were arrested," the force said on its official Sepah news agency. "Three of the gunnies were arrested and 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of explosives and 600 kilograms of kabooms as well as weapons and ammunition were confiscated," it said. The Guards said the three arrested had "produced, guided and supported" the vehicle used in Wednesday's suicide kaboom. The attack killed 27 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards travelling on a bus in the volatile southeastern province of 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... , which straddles the border with Pakistain. It was claimed by the jihadist outfit Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice). Iran has provided Pak officials with "information on the terrorist groups' hidden and semi-hidden training centres", army chief-of-staff Mohammad Bagheri told Tasnim news agency. In a phone call with Mighty Pak Army commanders, Bagheri asked them to "either confront the groups or allow (Iranian) forces to enter." Islamabad launched an operation against the "terrorists" in its Balochistan border province on Sunday, he said. Guards commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari has accused The Mighty Pak Army and intelligence agency of sheltering the jihadists. The foreign ministry said Iran "cannot tolerate" Pakistain's inability to stop cross-border attacks on Iran and said Tehran's frustration had been communicated to Islamabad. "We hope the Pak government can and wants to prevent such things from happening again," front man Bahram Ghasemi told news hounds on Monday. The ministry has summoned the Pak ambassador in Tehran and urged Islamabad to "seriously confront... the terrorist groups active on its border" with Iran. |
