| Iran will punish terrorists, their masters |

[PRESSTV] Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has condemned a fatal terror attack that targeted Iran's strategic port city of Chabahar, vowing that the Islamic Theocratic Republicwill bring the perpetrators and "their masters" to justice. The top Iranian diplomat took to his Twitter page on Thursday to react to the car kaboom, which he said was perpetrated by "foreign-backed terrorists." "We support our own terrorists, others are bad" Earlier in the day, a vehicle laden with explosives went off close to a police headquarters in Chabahar, situated in the southeastern province of Sistan-and-Baluchestan. The terrorist behind the wheel was seeking to force his way into the police post, but failed to do so as local security forces quickly intervened. At least two coppers bit the dust and some 40 other people sustained injuries in the kaboom, which also killed the bomber. The so-called Ansar al-Furqan terrorist group later grabbed credit for the assault. "As we've made clear in the past, such crimes won’t go unpunished: In 2010, our security services intercepted & captured snuffies en route from UAE," Zarif wrote in the tweet. He was apparently referring to a highly successful operation by Iranian intelligence services, which led to the capture in 2010 of Abdolmalek Rigi, the ringleader of the so-called Jundullah terror group. The bad boy outfit under Rigi was dismantled and he was executed later that year. That operation followed a 2009 terror attack by bad boy forces of Evil that claimed over 40 lives in Sistan-and-Baluchestan Province. "Mark my words: Iran WILL bring forces of Evil & their masters to justice," the foreign minister emphasized. Sistan-and-Baluchestan -- which borders Pakistain -- has suffered several terror attacks targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years. Iranian forces, from time to time, bust terrorist ringlets in the province, foiling their planned attacks and confiscating weapons and ammunition in the course of such security operations. 'ENEMIES SEEK CHAOS IN IRAN'S BIGGEST OCEANIC PORT' Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Jane reached into her purse for her .38... Rahmdel Bameri, caretaker of the Governor's Office in Chabahar County, underlined the strategic significance of the city as a free trade zone, which has a deep-water port on the Sea of Oman. Chabahar is also the site of a port complex, which is being developed in cooperation with India as part of a new transportation corridor for landlocked Afghanistan. Bameri added that such attacks are meant to "destabilize Chabahar, Iran's largest oceanic port, and disrupt the peaceful and friendly climate in there." |
