QUETTA: The law-enforcement agencies have taken into custody 11 personnel of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who crossed the border into Pakistan on Monday.
Sources said personnel of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards intruded 10 kilometres into Pakistani territory where the Pakistani security agencies arrested them. The Iranians were in two vehicles.
During the preliminary investigation, it was learnt that the Iranian personnel launched an operation against the activists of Jundallah near the Pak-Iran border inside the Iranian territory. The personnel crossed the border in an attempt to apprehend the activists.
Agencies add: The 11 officers were taken into custody in Mashkel, close to the countries’ border in Balochistan, police officer Dadur Raman said. He said officers were interrogating the men and had seized two vehicles.
Another security official said the guards had no travel documents. ìWe need to probe that,î said Murtaza Baig, a spokesman for the paramilitary border force. The Guard is Iran’s strongest military force, which is directly linked to the ruling clerics. The 120,000-strong Guard also controls Iran’s missile programme and guards its nuclear facilities.
