Severe punishment awaits perpetrators of Zahedan attack: Iranian minister
BUSHEHR, July 20 (MNA) – Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar warned on Monday that the country will mete out severe punishment to the perpetrators of the terrorist attack in Zahedan.
On Thursday, two bombs were detonated in quick succession in front of the Zahedan Grand Mosque in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan. Twenty-seven people were killed and about 300 others were injured in the incident.
The incident has widely been blamed on extremist Wahabis and Salafis trained by U.S. intelligence agents in Pakistan.
The Iranian police have arrested 40 people in connection with the twin bombing.
Najjar said the enemies have always struggled to overthrow Iran’s Islamic System through creating ethnic and religious discords, but their struggles have failed.
He went on to say that this vicious incident had no “tactic” value and only showed the depth of enemies’ grudge against the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
Najjar also expressed his lamentation over security condition in Iraq saying that like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, the enemies had been trying to portray Iran as an “insecure” country, but their wish was not realized.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Najjar noted that the enemies are trying to weaken Iran by imposing sanctions on the country, but these sanctions have turned Iran into one of the world's scientific powers.
In another speech, the interior minister announced that the country has decided to reinforce the security of its borders, according to the Fars News Agency.
The plan will soon be announced to the governor-generals of the northwestern, southeastern and eastern provinces, he explained.
Noting that the plan has been designed by the Interior Ministry, he reiterated that it is a comprehensive plan which will be put into effect soon in the future.
