| Iran says Sistan-Baluchestan bombers arrested |
| 2009-12-09 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] Nearly two month after a fatal attack in Iran's southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan Province, the country's prosecutor general says a number of terrorists involved in the incident have been arrested. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Iran's Prosecutor General Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i said that while the terrorists had been arrested they have yet to stand trial. The Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group, which is believed to be closely affiliated with al-Qaeda, has claimed responsibility for the fatal attack in the borderline region of Pishin in southeastern Iran, which took place in October. The terror attack left more than 40 people, including 15 members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), dead. Shia and Sunni tribal leaders were also among the victims of the vicious attack. Explaining that the bomber himself has died, Mohseni-Eje'i said "a number of terrorists involved in the incident have been arrested; however, no trial has so far been held in this respect." The remarks come as Iranian officials say certain foreign countries including the US, Britain, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are supporting Jundallah, seeking to disrupt peace and security in Iran. |
