According to Iranian media reports, the guards were seized on February 6 in the Iranian 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...
by faceless myrmidons who allegedly took them across the border to Pakistain. "If Pakistain doesn't take the needed steps to fight against the terrorist groups, we will send our forces into Pak soil. We will not wait for this country," Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani-Fazli was quoted as telling the semi-official Mehr news agency. An myrmidon Iranian group calling itself Jaish al-Adl had grabbed credit for the kidnapping, according to a Twitter account purporting to belong to the group. The account's authenticity could not be immediately verified. The area where the kidnappings took place has a history of unrest, with the mainly Sunni population complaining of discrimination by Iran's Shia authorities, a charge Iran denies. Iranian security forces have also fought narcos in the region that borders Pakistain and Afghanistan. The Iranian armed forces' deputy chief of staff was quoted as telling the semi-official Fars news agency that Iran would "show tough confrontation in this case". "We will have no soft stand in this case and our neighbouring country ... should account for its lack of action," Major General Hossein Hassani Sa'di told news hounds in Tehran on Monday, according to Fars English language website. Sa'di said the guards were still alive, and underlined that "political and military measures are underway to set them free", without elaborating. Interior Minister Rahmani-Fazli said an Iranian delegation would visit Pakistain on Monday to secure the guards' release, state news agency ISNA reported.
