Iran rebels claim seizure of 5 border guards
2014-02-09
[DAWN] An Iranian rebel group on Saturday posted photos on twitter of five men it claims are border guards it seized near Pakistain.

Jaish al-Adl is a little known organization that operates in Iran's border area with the neighboring country.

Semiofficial Fars news agency said in a report Monday that the five Iranian guards have reportedly been taken to Pakistain.

Jaish al-Adl's name was raised for the first time in October when they killed 14 Iranian border guards in an ambush.

Iranian authorities hanged 16 members of the rebel group in retaliation for the ambush.

Jaish al-Adl is widely believed to be a Saudi-backed ultraconservative salafi group which aims to punish the Islamic Theocratic Republic for its support of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
