Iran urges Pakistan action on Jundallah
Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar
Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar has urged Pakistan to utilize all its resources to dismantle the Jundallah terrorist group.
In a meeting with his visiting Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik in Tehran on Thursday, Mohammad-Najjar said that Islamabad has to step up efforts to eliminate Jundallah's hideouts from its southwestern Baluchistan province near the border with Iran, two top interior ministry officials in Islamabad told a Press TV correspondent on condition of anonymity.
Malik assured his Iranian counterpart that his government has deployed extra troops in its border region to counter the terrorists' activities.
The Iranian and Pakistani ministers also reviewed the current situation in Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Iran's southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistan, has witnessed a rise in terror activities by arms smugglers and Pakistani-based armed terrorist groups such as Jundallah.
Jundallah has carried out numerous bombings, assassination attempts, and terrorist attacks in Iran's southwestern region.
Former Jundallah ringleader Abdolmalek Rigi was arrested by Iranian intelligence forces in February 2010 and executed in June for 79 counts of crime, including manslaughter, armed robbery, bombing operations and armed attacks on security officers and civilians.
Rigi stated in his confessions that he had dealings with the US government and was promised unlimited funds and resources for waging an insurgency in Iran.
