Malik assured his Iranian counterpart that his government has deployed extra troops in its border region to counter the terrorists' activities. The Iranian and Pak ministers also reviewed the current situation in Pakistain-Afghanistan border. Iran's southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistain, has witnessed a rise in terror activities by arms smugglers and Pak-based armed terrorist groups such as Jundallah. Jundallah has carried out numerous bombings, liquidation attempts, and terrorist attacks in Iran's southwestern region. Former Jundallah ringleader Abdolmalek Rigi was incarcerated by Iranian intelligence forces in February 2010 and executed in June for 79 counts of crime, including manslaughter, armed robbery, bombing operations and armed attacks on security officers and civilians. Rigi stated in his confessions that he had dealings with the US government and was promised unlimited funds and resources for "waging an insurgency" in Iran. | |
