Pakistan charges Iranian border guards with murder

This could prove amusing...
[Dawn] Pakistain police on Tuesday charged three Iranian border guards with the murder of a Pak man rubbed out on Sunday in a cross-border attack in the country's southwest.

The three guards were held late Sunday in southwestern Balochistan

province along the Iranian border after they allegedly crossed the frontier and shot at a car, killing a Pak national.

Police said they had charged the Iranians following a written complaint from the father of the victim.

"We have registered a murder case against the three Iranians and will present them in court," said Abdul Malik, officer in charge of the Mazan Sar Mashkail area, where the three were tossed in the clink.

A brother of the victim was also maimed by gunshots in the incident, police said.

The Iranians reached the area in Washuk district, three kilometres (two miles) inside Pakistain, where they opened fire on a vehicle they were chasing, according to officials in the cut-thoat-hit province.

Mazan Sar Mashkail is around 600 kilometres (370 miles) southwest of Quetta, Balochistan's main town, which borders Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province.

Pak officials said the Iranian guards were trying to take both Pak nationals back into Iran.

Malik said the three Iranians were in the custody of Pakistain paramilitary Frontier Corps and a request has been sent to hand them over to police.

#1  It's always the last one committing a foul that gets caught. Were those Iranians acting under orders or where they showing "initiative"? E.g., did a drug deal go bad?
