‘Army of Justice’ Claims Responsibility for Deadly Attack in Zahedan, Iran
2023-07-09
[Shafaq News] The gang known as Jaish al-Adl, or the Army of Justice, has grabbed credit for the attack this morning in Zahedan, Iran, resulting in the deaths of two Iranian Internal Security Forces members.

The group stated that the attack was carried out in retaliation for the liquidation of all its attackers.

In response to the incident, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard issued a statement confirming that a "terrorist team consisting of four individuals attempted to storm Police Station No. 16 in Zahedan," located in the Sunni Musalla prayer hall.

The statement from the Revolutionary Guard commended the heroic resistance of the coppers, who successfully thwarted the blind terrorist act by eliminating all the attackers.

The public prosecutor of Zahedan verified the deaths of two members of the internal security forces during the clash with the button men. He assured the public that the situation is currently under the control of the security forces and law enforcement agencies.

Jaish al-Adl, also known as the Army of Justice, is a Salafi Islamist Death Eater organization primarily operating in southeastern Iran, with a significant concentration of Sunni Baluchis and a mostly non-existent border with Pakistain.

The group was established in 2012 by former members of Jundallah

In February 2019, Jaish al-Adl grabbed credit for a suicide kaboom that killed 27 troops in Iran's restive southeast.

In October 2022, the group declared in a video that taking up arms against the Iranian regime is permissible and that it is preparing to launch further attacks.
