Are there any mark of Indian OFB ?? How else can you ask India to prove that it's not made in India. Actually it's other way round. Your agencies first need to prove that those are Indian weapons then only our agencies can counter your arguments.

I know he is connected to the Baloch freedom movement. Beyond that I don't know anything about him. Secondly, he didn't show any proof for his supposedly Indian nationality.

Iranian Delegation Due in Islamabad to Pursue Fate of Abducted Border Guards
February 13, 2014 - 17:27
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Law Enforcement Affairs Ali Abdollahi said a delegation will be dispatched to Pakistan by the next few days to pursue the fate of 5 kidnapped border guards.
Abdollahi said the governor of Sistan and Baluchestan will lead the delegation to Islamabad.
The five guards were abducted by the Jaish-ul-Adl terrorist group in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan and taken to Pakistani territory last Thursday.
Abdollahi said evidence clearly indicates that members of Jaish-ul-Adl group had entered the Iranian territory from Pakistan.
He regretted that Islamabad has failed to fully control its borders with Iran, stressing that the Pakistani government has commitments based on the joint security agreement signed by the two countries and should fulfill those commitments.
In February 2013, Iran and Pakistan signed a security agreement which requires both sides to take strict measures to combat terrorism and human and drug trafficking.
Abdollahi further noted that Iran’s foreign ministry has also summoned the Pakistani ambassador to Tehran and has asked the Pakistani government to vigorously pursue the abduction case.

Iran must press Pakistan over guards abductions: MP
A senior Iranian lawmaker has called for active diplomacy by Iran to exert pressure on Islamabad in order to secure the release of five Iranian border guards who were earlier abducted and transferred to Pakistan.
“The diplomatic apparatus must also place pressure on Pakistan through serious negotiations to swiftly determine the fate of (the kidnapped Iranian) border guards, return them [to Iran] and prevent the repetition of [similar] incidents through severe punitive measures,” Deputy Chairman of Iran’s Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Mansour Haqiqatpour said on Thursday.
Five Iranian border guards were abducted in Jakigour region in Iran’s Sistan-and-Baluchestan Province on February 6 and transferred to the Pakistani territory.
Haqiqatpour said Pakistan must be answerable in regards to the abduction of the five Iranian border guards since the attack on the Iranian forces was launched from Pakistani soil.
The Jaish-ul-Adl terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of the Iranian border guards.
On February 12, Iran’s Deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs Ali Abdollahi said the country will dispatch a delegation to Pakistan to pursue the case of the five Iranian border guards.
Following the incident, Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned Pakistani Ambassador to Tehran Noor Mohammad Jadmani to protest the abduction and transference of the abductees to Pakistan.
On October 25, 2013, Jaish-ul-Adl killed 14 Iranian border guards and wounded six others in the border region near the city of Saravan in Sistan-and-Baluchestan Province.
In February, 2013, Iran and Pakistan signed a security agreement, under which both countries are required to cooperate in preventing and combating organized crime, fighting terrorism and countering the activities that pose a threat to the national security of either country.
Iran has repeatedly called on Pakistan to commit to the terms of the agreement.

I read somewhere that most of the barrier and other fortifications along the border are complete, but i'll have to search the net for that report.
And there is no reason why conscripts should be sent to the border. Whoever are responsible for this decision has shown complete ineptitude and neglect for the safety of our people, especially those that are doing their mandatory service. Only professionals from the police and army should be depolyed there.
A zero tolerance policy needs to be enacted along the border, with a bufferzone created within the Iranian side where the zero tolerance for trespassers will be enforced. The border crossing with Pakistan must also be closed.

Senior Sunni MP Urges Iranian Armed Forces to Destroy Jeish Al-Adl Terrorist Group
TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Iranian Parliament’s Sunni Fraction Abed Fattahi demanded the country’s Armed Forces to chase Jeish Al-Adl - a newly declared terrorist group which has abducted and held five Iranian border guards since early February - even beyond Iran's borders with Pakistan and destroy the group.
Fattahi’s remarks came after five Iranian border guards were abducted in Jakigour region in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan Province on February 6 and transferred to Pakistan's territory. Jeish Al-Adl who claims to be a radical Sunni group has alleged responsibility for the abduction.
“As the head of the parliament’s Sunni Fraction, I denounce and condemn the abduction (of Iranian border guards) by the terrorist groups and say that these groups are not Muslims because they are looking for sowing the seeds of discord between the Shiites and Sunnis,” Fattahi told FNA Sunday.
He underlined that Jeish Al-Adl are not Sunnis, and not even Muslims. “Shiites and Sunnis are brothers and any difference between them is a difference among members of a family, and this attempt of the enemies (abduction of Iran’s border guards) can no way harm the unity of the Muslims in Iran,” the Sunni fraction leader at the Iranian parliament reiterated.
“We Sunni lawmakers call on the Armed Forces to suppress and destroy Jeish Al-Adl terrorist group even inside the territories of neighboring Pakistan, because they are commissioned by the US and the Zionist regime to sow the seeds of discord among Muslims and they are not Sunnis,” Fattahi said.
Earlier in the day, an Iranian deputy foreign minister stressed Tehran’s firm will to root out terrorist groups alongside Iran-Pakistan border, saying the ministry has done its best to clarify the fate of the five abducted Iranian border guards.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for consular, parliamentary and Iranian expatriates' affairs Hassan Qashqavi said necessary consultations for the release of the abducted Iranian border guards were underway.
The Iranian official also stated that the results of the consultations will not be publicized until the issue is finalized.
“We hope that the incident will result in the freedom of our loved ones as it was the case in previous incidents,” Qashqavi expressed.
On Saturday, Iranian Deputy Interior Minister Ali Abdollahi confirmed that the five border guards abducted along Iran-Pakistan border on February 5 are safe and sound.
“The latest news reports indicate the good health conditions of the five abducted Iranian border guards,” Abdollahi told FNA on Saturday.
He reiterated that the foreign ministry as well as the Iranian and Pakistani ambassadors “are following up the case and all efforts are being made” to secure the release of the abducted border guards.
On February 9, Iran’s Police Chief Brigadier General Esmayeel Ahmadi Moqaddam voiced concern over the presence of terrorist groups in Pakistan's territories, and underlined that Iran's police along with the Foreign Ministry are resolved to do their best to clear the fate of the five Iranian guards abducted at the Iran-Pakistan border.
Ahmadi Moqaddam criticized the performance of the Pakistani government and its border police in the joint border region.
He then asked how it is possible that certain elements ambush the Iranian guards, kidnap them, take them to Pakistan and release some photos of them.
He further called on the Iranian Foreign Ministry to investigate the case.
Last Saturday, the outlawed Jeish Al-Adl radical Sunni Wahhabi movement claimed responsibility for the abduction of 5 Iranian border guards in Southeastern Iran.
The Jeish Al-Adl released a photo of the kidnapped border guards on its Tweeter page and claimed the responsibility for their abduction on Saturday.
Earlier reports said that they had been transferred to Pakistan which has a long border with Iran in the Southeastern parts of the country.
Last Sunday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Pakistani Ambassador to Tehran Nour Mohammad Jadmani to explain about the fate of the five Iranian border guards.
The director-general of West Asia Office of the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Sunday invited the Pakistani envoy and conveyed the Islamic Republic’s “displeasure and official protest” to him over the terrorist attack and the abduction of Iranian border guards.
The Pakistani diplomat, who was handed an official protest note from Iran during the meeting, expressed regret over the terrorist operation.
Jadmani said he would convey Iran’s message to Islamabad to pursue the issue.
Also, last November, Jeish Al-Adl claimed responsibility for the assassination of Zabol prosecutor.
In the early hours of November 6, unknown assailants killed the prosecutor of Zabol city in Sistan and Balouchestan province, Mousa Nouri, and his driver while they were on their way to work.
But, Iranian officials rejected the claim, saying Jeish Al-Adl was just bluffing to boast about its power. Iranian officials said another terrorist group had most likely conducted the attack. A few weeks later, Iranian security forces arrested the terrorists who were said to be not a member of Jeish Al-Adl.
Jeish Al-Adl had also killed 14 Iranian border guards two weeks before Nouri's terror incident.
Pakistan accountable for Iran border guards abduction: Min.
Iran Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli has held Pakistan accountable for the recent abduction of five Iranian border guards, stating that the Pakistani authorities must be answerable to Iran in this regard.
Rahmani Fazli said on Saturday that occurrence of such incidents in border areas attests to the vigilance of Iranian forces, who do not allow the assailants to infiltrate the country.
On the other hand, he added, the border incidents make the country that is on the other side of the border responsible.
“We totally hold Pakistan responsible and this country must be answerable,” the Iranian interior minister emphasized.
Rahmani Fazli said the Iranian Foreign Ministry has also conveyed Tehran’s strong objection to Pakistani Ambassador to Iran Noor Mohammad Jadmani, and an Iranian delegation is due to visit Pakistan soon to discuss the issue with Pakistani officials.

Terrorist group threatens to execute abducted Iranian soldiers
The terrorist group holding five Iranian border guards hostage in Pakistan has threatened to execute them in retaliation for the alleged hanging of one of their operatives in Iran.
The Jaish-ul-Adl group, which kidnapped the Iranian soldiers on February 6, made the announcement in a tweet on Wednesday.
The group said a “religious tribunal” has already handed down the death penalty to all the five Iranian soldiers.
The Iranian soldiers were abducted in Jakigour region in the southeastern Iranian Sistan and Baluchestan Province before being taken by their captors to Pakistani territory.
In a bid to protect the hostage-takers, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has reportedly taken the Iranian hostages to a spot 300 kilometers into Pakistani territory.
Iran has repeatedly declared that it holds the Pakistani government responsible for the lives of the Iranian hostages. Pundits believe that by supporting extremist Wahhabi groups, which are buttressed and promoted by Saudi Arabia, the Islamabad government is pursuing policies dictated by Riyadh.
A week ago, Tehran and Islamabad held a joint border commission meeting in the Pakistani city of Quetta to discuss the abductions with Pakistani officials.
Tehran has asked Interpol to prosecute the kidnappers.
In February 2013, Iran and Pakistan signed a security agreement under which both countries are required to cooperate in preventing and combating organized crime, fighting terrorism and countering the activities that pose a threat to the national security of either country.

Efforts underway to free abducted guards: Iran official
Iran’s police chief says efforts are underway to secure the release of the five Iranian border guards recently abducted and transferred to Pakistan.
“We are making efforts to secure the freedom of the kidnapped border guards through cooperation among the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), the police force, the Intelligence Ministry and the diplomatic apparatus,” Brigadier General Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam said in the southeastern Iranian city of Iranshahr on Thursday.
He added that the Islamabad government has also pledged to provide the necessary cooperation for the release of the border guards and restrict the activities of terrorists groups on Pakistani soil.
Ahmadi-Moghaddam further noted that Iran will completely close off its borders at Sistan and Baluchestan Province with Afghanistan and Pakistan in the next Iranian calendar year (starting March 21, 2014).

Senior MP Rejects Pakistani Officials' Remarks over Location of Abducted Iranian Border Guards
TEHRAN (FNA)- The border guards abducted along Iran-Pakistan border on February 6 are surely being kept in Pakistan, a senior Iranian legislator said, blasting Islamabad officials’ attempts to shirk the responsibility for finding and releasing them.
“Certainly the 5 kidnapped Iranian border guards are being kept in Pakistani territories unless they have been transferred to another place through coordination with the Pakistanis,” Vice-Chairman of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mansour Haqiqatpour told the parliament’s news website on Saturday.
He lambasted the Pakistani foreign ministry spokeswoman for trying to shirk responsibility for finding and releasing the five Iranian border guards from the terrorists’ hands, and said Islamabad should be blamed for sheltering the terrorist groups.
“Still worse is that the Pakistani foreign ministry spokeswoman says she doesn't know where the 5 Iranian border guards are kept and doesn’t know what is happening in her country’s territory,” Haqiqatpour said.
Five Iranian border guards were abducted in Jakigour region of Iran’s Sistan-and Balouchestan Province on February 6 and taken to Pakistani territory.
The so-called Jeish al-Adl terrorist group claimed responsibility for the abductions.
