| [Shafaq News] Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on Thursday announced a successful dismantling of an armed cell affiliated with the "Army of Justice" group ...a.k.a. Jaish al-Ê¿Adl, it appeared in 2012 as a successor to the Salafist Balochi independence group Jundullah (Soldiers of God), which operates on both sides of the Pak-Iranian border but was based in Pakistan. The Pak branch has close relations with al-Qaeda and the Pak Talibs and is probably a false nose and mustache for Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, while the Iranian branch hangs out with Ansar Al-Furqan (Sistan-Balochistan) and Al Nusra (Syria), concentrates on attacking Iranian soldiers and police, and for some reason went after the Taliban in Afghanistan in early 2019... and the subsequent arrest of multiple members in the southeastern provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan.Iran's official news agency, IRNA, today quoted an IRGC blurb detailing the intelligence and security operations conducted by the elite Quds Force that ultimately "effectively neutralized the terrorist cell". "The military forces confiscated an arsenal of 154 assorted weapons employed by the cell members in their nefarious schemes to execute terrorist attacks within Iran's borders," the statement said. The blurb said the Sistan and Baluchestan Public Security Police managed to dismantle a network of weapon-traffickers under their jurisdiction. The perpetrators had been clandestinely transporting a diverse range of arms into the country, it continued. "In total, 70 distinct types of weapons were uncovered, and the culprits were subsequently apprehended."
