Iran Arrests 4 Terrorists at Southeastern Borders
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian security forces have arrested four members of the terrorist Jundollah group along Iran's borders in the Southeastern Sistan and Balouchestan province, a senior provincial judiciary official announced on Tuesday.
"Four terrorists, who wanted to infiltrate into Iran, were arrested at Sistan and Balouchestan borders," General Director of Sistan and Balouchestan's provincial Justice Department Hojjatoleslam Ebrahim Hamidi told reporters in the provincial capital city of Zahedan today.
He noted that the inmates are affiliated to the Jundollah terrorist group, adding that the terrorists have already been handed over to the judiciary authorities.
The US-backed Jundollah is the main terrorist cell operating in Southeastern Iran. Tehran has arrested a majority of its members and executed its number one and number two men.
Jundollah is a Pakistan-based terrorist group which has carried out numerous bombings, assassinations, and terrorist attacks in Iran.
Abdolmalek Rigi was the ringleader of the terrorist Jundollah group who was executed last June after judicial authorities approved the (initial) court ruling on his case.
Rigi was charged with militancy against the Islamic Republic, corruption and 79 cases of criminal acts and was sentenced to death through execution according to the Islamic laws.
After Rigi's execution, Iran tried ten members of the Jundollah terrorist group in Zahedan.
The Jundollah group has claimed responsibility for numerous terrorist attacks in Iran. The group has carried out mass murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, acts of sabotage and bombings. They have targeted civilians and government officials as well as all ranks of Iran's military.
In one of the worst cases, the group killed 22 citizens and abducted 7 more in Tasouki region on a road linking the capital Zahedan to another provincial town.
In 2007, Jundollah kidnapped 30 people in the Sistan and Balouchestan province. They were freed during a Pakistani police operation after abductors took them to the country.
Jundollah claimed responsibility the same year for an attack on an Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) bus in which 11 IRGC personnel were killed.
In another crime in October, Jundollah, which is closely affiliated with the notorious al-Qaeda organization, claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in the Sistan and Balouchestan province which killed 42 people among them a group of senior military commanders, including Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force Brigadier General Nourali Shoushtari.
Also the terrorist group in its recent crime claimed responsibility for the two bomb blasts in front of the Zahedan Grand Mosque last July which killed at least 27 people and injured over 270 more.
The group staged a terrorist bomb blast in the Southeastern port city of Chabahar in December, killing 39 civilians and wounding 93 others.
