[GEO.TV] A day after Pakistain and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
officially resumed diplomatic ties following a brief strain, at least nine Pak citizens were killed and three sustained injuries in a firing incident near the Pak border in Iran, it emerged on Saturday.

As per Iranian media, nine "foreigners" were slain in an armed attack in the country's southeastern region near the border with Pakistain. The report also stated that "no group has grabbed credit" for the attack.

Two of the victims, who have been identified so far, were labourers hailing from Pakistain's Lodhran area as stated by their family, while five including two brothers belonged to Tehsil Alipur of Punjab's District Muzaffargarh.

"Zubair and his nephew had gone to Iran for labour," Geo News reported citing the family.

The two worked at an auto-repair workshop in Iran.

Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?...

Speaking to Geo News, a friend of one of the victims said that the incident took place in the wee hours of Saturday, around 2:30am. He said that three people were maimed in the shooting.

The unfortunate incident came as a jolt in the neighbouring countries' efforts to mend bilateral ties following a short but aggressive episode of cross-border tensions that arose after Iran's surprise attack targeted at a krazed killer outfit inside Pakistain.
