| 2010-12-17 |
| [Iran Press TV] Russia has condemned the deadly terrorist attack in the Iranian city of Chabahar, and announced Moscow's readiness to join Tehran in its fight against terrorism. "Russia condemns the inhumane crime of the Islamic fascisti and expresses the assurance that destructive forces will be unable to destabilize the country," a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. On Wednesday, a kaboom rocked the Imam Hussein mosque in Chabahar in southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan Province, where people were commemorating the martyrdom of the third Shia Imam. At least 34 people, including women and kiddies, were killed and 83 others were maimed in the attack. "The event proves the need for mounting international efforts in the suppression of the terrorist threat, in which the Russian Federation is ready for close interaction with the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran," AFP quoted the statement as saying. The terrorist group Jundallah has grabbed credit for the attack. Jundallah, a Pakistain-based terrorist group, has carried out numerous bombings, liquidation attempts, and terrorist attacks in Iran. Its leader Abdolmalek Rigi was jugged by Iranian intelligence forces in February 2010 and executed in June for 79 counts of crimes, including armed robbery, bombing operations and armed attacks on police and civilians. One of the attack's "perpetrators" was jugged on Thursday on Iran's border with Pakistain, Deputy Governor of the Sistan-Baluchistan province Jalal Sayah said. |
