Iran summons Pak. envoy over killings
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has summoned Pakistan’s Ambassador in Tehran to protest against the killing of nine Iranian border guards by Sunni militants attacking from neighbouring Pakistan, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported on Friday.
The Sunni Muslim militant group called Jaish al Adl, or the Army of Justice, has claimed responsibility for the attack on Wednesday in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan Province.
Call for action
“Iran expects Pakistan to take serious and essential measures to arrest and punish those terrorists responsible for the killing of our nine guards,” IRNA quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi as saying.
“The message was delivered to Ambassador Asif Ali Khan Durrani on Friday,” he said.
Iran’s southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province, whose majority population is Sunni Muslim Baloch people like those across the border in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, lies on a major transit route for drug smugglers. It has long been plagued by unrest both from them and from separatist militants.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also called on Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to prosecute the militants who had killed the Iranian border guards.
