  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps said Saturday it had captured those behind a drive-by attack that killed three of its troops in restive Sistan-Baluchistan province earlier this week, state media reported. The province, which has a large ethnic Baluch population that unlike most of the rest of Iran is mainly Sunni Muslim, has long been a flashpoint for cross-border attacks by separatists and Sunni extremists based in neighbouring Pakistan. "Following special intelligence and operational measures, the Quds headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' ground force was able to arrest the main elements and others involved" in the attack, the official IRNA news agency reported, quoting a statement from the Guards. The statement did not specify the identity or number of those detained. Two of the assailants were killed carrying out Tuesday's attack, which also wounded a fourth Guards member. In recent years, the most active rebel group in Sistan-Baluchistan has been jihadist outfit Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), which has carried out several high-profile bombings and abductions. In February last year, 27 Guards were killed in a suicide attack on their bus. Jaish al-Adl was formed in 2012 as a successor to Sunni extremist group Jundallah (Soldiers of God), which waged a deadly insurgency for a decade before it was severely weakened by the capture and execution of its leader Abdolmalek Rigi in 2010. amh/kir
