PJAK halts terrorist actions against Iran: Iranian commander
TEHRAN, Sept.27(MNA) – The commander of National Border Police said that the counter-revolutionary group PJAK (the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan) has stopped conducting terrorist activities in northwest Iran.
“Sepah (the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps), in cooperation with the National Border Police, has managed to keep PJAK terrorists’ activities under control,” Brigadier General Hossein Zolfaqari told reporters on Monday.
IRGC forces have so far inflicted heavy casualties on the group and killed a number of PJAK leaders, he added.
PJAK was established in 2003. Its camps and bases are mostly located in Iraq, near the border with Iran. PJAK uses Iraqi Kurdistan’s soil as a safe haven for organizing terrorist actions against the Islamic Republic.
IRGC forces carried out a series of major operations against PJAK terrorists and captured their bases in northwestern border areas.
On September 21, the IRGC announced that it has restored complete control over northwestern borders after clearing PJAK terrorists out of the region.
Iran has also announced that PJAK terrorists could be granted Islamic clemency if they abandon their armed struggle against the Islamic Republic.
