Iran Captures 2 Terrorists Near Pakistani Border

Police spokesman General Saeed Montazer Al-Mahdi said on Tuesday the security agents have detained two members of the terrorist groups of Daesh and the so-called Ansar al-Furqan in Sistan and Baluchestan.

Militants intended to carry out terrorist acts, but they were identified before any acts of sabotage with the cooperation of intelligence communities, he added.

Sistan and Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan, has witnessed several terror attacks targeting both civilians and security agents over the past years. Iranian military officials have warned neighboring countries to observe the principle of good neighborliness and not allow destabilizing activities on their soil.

Terrorists have conducted several bomb attacks and kidnappings in Southeastern Iran in a bid to disrupt the country’s security and stability. Iranian security agents have in recent years dismantled several terror networks affiliated with the foreign-backed notorious terror group in the province.

General Montazer Al-Mahdi stated that the arrests were made in a technical and complex operation over the past 24 hours.
