Pakistan release detained Iranian Revolutionary Guards |
Pakistan has released 10 Iranian Revolutionary Guards, who were detained
on Monday after they crossed into the country. According to reports, Frontier
Corps personnel had arrested the Iranian guards in Jhodar town, 60 kilometres
south of the Mashkhel area in Washuk district. The officials had travelled two
kilometres into Pakistan during a search operation against suspected Jundullah
terrorists. It is being said that the Frontier Corps released the Iranians after
investigation. The arrests threatened to add to the strain between the two nations
triggered by the October 18 suicide bomb attack on the Iranian side of the border,
which came a day after the Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari met Iran's Interior
Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar. Iran had closed its border with Pakistan following
the attack in the Sarbaz area of the Sistan-Baluchestan province on October 18,
which killed at least 40 people, including the Revolutionary Guard deputy chief. |
