A senior Iranian commander says the best way to terminate terror activities in the southeast of Iran is to pursue and crack down terrorists in Pakistan, a report says.
The Deputy Commander of Iran's Armed Forces, Major General Gholamali Rashid made a reference to the recent deadly attacks in the Iranian city of Chabahar in Sistan-Baluchestan Province and said the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have the capacities to counter terrorists around the eastern borders, Fars news agency reported.
The anti-revolutionary rings, which have found safe havens and support in neighboring countries such as Pakistan, need to be hunted down and crushed on Pakistani soil. And this is the only way to confront them, he further explained.
At least 38 mourners, including women and children, were killed and around 90 were wounded in the terrorist attack on December 15.
Anti-Iran terrorist group Jundallah has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Iranian mourners were commemorating the anniversary of the martyrdom of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (PBUH) when the attack occurred.
On Monday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on Pakistan to arrest known terrorists and extradite them to the Islamic Republic.
The Pakistan-based terrorist group has carried out numerous bombings, assassination attempts, and terrorist attacks in Iran.
Jundallah leader Abdolmalek Rigi was arrested by Iranian intelligence forces in February 2010 and executed in June for 79 counts of crime, including armed robbery, bombing operations and armed attacks on police 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.
Iran says the perpetrators behind the Chabahar terrorist attack were trained and equipped by foreign elements beyond the country's eastern borders in Pakistan.
Iranian security forces have arrested several people in connection with the incident.
According to an Iranian judiciary official in Sistan-Baluchestan Province, Iran executed 11 members of the Jundallah terrorist group on Monday.
