Terrorists abduct several Iranian forces near Pakistani border
[PRESSTV] Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says bandidos turbans have kidnapped a number of Iranian forces in the southeastern Province of Sistan-and-Baluchestan, which borders Pakistain.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the IRGC confirmed that local Basij volunteer forces and border guards had been among those kidnapped overnight near the town of Mirjaveh on the Pak border.

Members of "terrorist groups led and backed by foreign services" carried out the kidnappings by "deceiving and bribing infiltrators."

Iranian security forces, it added, are preparing to carry out operations to chase the bandidos turbans and secure the release of those kidnapped.

Earlier in the day, Iranian media quoted informed sources as saying that 14 Iranian forces had been kidnapped in the village of Lulakdan near Mirjaveh.

The Fars news agency later revised down the number of abductees to 11.

Media reports are also speculating that the abductees had been fed poison by the bandidos turbans prior to being crossed over into Pakistain.

In recent, Iranian border guards have repeatedly come under attacks by terror outfits active on the Pak soil.

The so-called Jaish ul-Adl terror group ‐ which is based in Pakistain ‐ usually claims responsibility for such assaults.

Tehran has repeatedly filed protests with Islamabad over its failure to end terror activities on the Pak side of the border. Two neighbors had signed a security deal in 2013.
