Pakistan frees 11 border-trespassing Iranians
[Al Arabiya Latest] Pakistani authorities on Tuesday released 11 Iranian Revolutionary Guards detained a day earlier for trespassing into Pakistani territory, officials said.The guards were arrested in the Mashkhel area on the border with Iran eight days after a suicide bomber killed 42 people, including 15 members of the Revolutionary Guards, in Iran's southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province. A Sunni Muslim group, Jundollah (God's soldiers), claimed responsibility for that blast and Iran said the group operated from Pakistan. On Tuesday last week, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander said his force should be given permission to confront terrorists inside Pakistan, state media reported. Posted by: Fred 2009-10-28 |
