[Dawn] Iranian border authorities handed over to Pakistan on Friday the bodies of five Pakistanis, claiming that they were killed in the suicide attack on the Revolutionary Guards on Sunday.Not the boomer, surely? Or were they handed over in coffee cans?
According to sources, Iranian authorities suddenly informed the Taftan administration and Pakistani border officials that they had brought the bodies. 'A letter was handed over to Pakistani border authorities with the bodies,' the sources said.
Dear government of Pakistain,
How are you? We are fine. Keep your beturbanned mosque refuse out of our country or they'll get the same.
Yours truly,
Government of Iran
However, Pakistani border officials expressed doubt about the claim of Iranian authorities. A police officer in Taftan, Abid Khan, said the cause of deaths appeared to be torture. 'I am sure they were not killed in a bomb blast.'
"We certainly have enough kabooms here. We should know what they look like!"
He said blood was oozing from the ears and noses of two bodies. Although only medical examination would determine the cause of death, they appeared to have been tortured, he said.
Musta been pretty fresh-killed for the blood to still be oozing. Maybe he shoulda said "crusted."
The bodies were received by an official of the Taftan administration, Syed Zahid Shah. He said four of the men hailed from Yaro, in Pishin district, and from Nawan Killi, near Quetta.
Maybe they died after listening to Muskrat Love ...
He said the deceased -- Abdul Sattar, Rehmatullah, Abdullah, Wali Mohammad and Allah Nazar -- belonged to the Trahkai Pakhtun tribe and had gone to Iran in search of jobs.
"I got a job for yez!"
"Oh, yeah? Doin' what?"
"Infantry support to a suicide boomer!"
"What's it pay?"
"10,000 rupees if you make it!"
"And if we don't?"
"72 doe-eyed houris!"
"Apiece?"
The bodies were handed over to their relatives. Amanullah, a relative of one of the victims, said: 'I have received the five bodies in Taftan from Pakistani border officials.'
"Yeah. It wuz awful. Poor Sonny. All that blood oozing from his nose and ears! Left a trail all over the house! Pretty much ruined the rug!"
"It's a Persian rug, right ma'am?"
He said after learning that the five men, who were related to each other, had been arrested in Zahidan four days ago he had gone to Taftan along with another relative to make efforts for their release. However, when he reached Taftan, he was informed about their death. 'An independent inquiry should be conducted into the cause of the deaths,' he said.
"But we're gonna do it on this side of the border!... And we're takin' donations of paper towels!"
AFP adds: Iran's Fars news agency quoted Sistan-Baluchestan's deputy governor Jalal Sayyah as saying that four Pakistani citizens were among those who had died in the attack on the Revolutionary Guards. He alleged that the suicide attacker had been trained in 'one of Jundallah chief Abdolmalek Rigi's bases in Pakistan'.
