Iran slams Pakistan over border guards abduction
2014-02-10
[DAWN] Iran on Sunday denounced what it called Pakistain's inability to secure its own borders after five Iranian soldiers were kidnapped and taken into its eastern neighbour by bully boys.

"We are unhappy with the Pak government over the abduction of our guards and their transfer to Pakistain," Fars news agency reported quoted police chief Esmail Ahmadi-Moghadam as saying.

Jaish-ul Adl, the rebel group formed in 2012 whose name in Arabic means Army of Justice, has said it was behind the kidnapping in Iran's restive southeast province of Sistan-Baluchestan.

The group posted pictures on its Facebook page it said were of the soldiers, handcuffed and being held in an unknown location.

The foreign ministry in Tehran summoned Pakistain's charge d'affaires, demanding that Islamabad "act firmly against the leaders and members of the terrorist group who have fled into Pakistain", media reports said.

Home to a large Sunni minority and ethnic Baluch in a predominantly Shiite country, Sistan-Baluchestan province has been the scene of unrest in recent years.

Jaish-ul Adl said in November it assassinated a local prosecutor, and in October it ambushed Iranian border guards, killing 14.

In response, Iranian authorities executed 16 "rebels" eight Sunni snuffies and eight narcos.

Another Sunni myrmidon group Jundallah (Soldiers of God), whose leader Abdolmalek Rigi was hanged in June 2010, has also attacked civilians and officials in Sistan-Baluchestan.

#1  Containing post-2014, potentially Taliban/Radical Islamist-controlled Pakistan + its Nuke arsenal may be Rising Iran's greatest utility to the US-Allies as a new BFF + OWG Co-Superpower, besides of course the Qaeda Boyz + aligned Jihadis.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN READY TO BROADEN [Political + Econ] TIES IWD PAKISTAN: ROUHANI.

* SAME > PAKISTAN WILL SOON EMERGE AS A GREAT NATION: SAUDI PRINCE.
