Iranian MPs urge Foreign Ministry to seriously pursue case of Chabahar attack
TEHRAN, Dec. 19 (MNA) -- In a statement issued on Saturday, the Majlis Human Rights Committee called on the Foreign Ministry to seriously pursue the case of the Chabahar terrorist attack.
On Wednesday, a suicide bomber blasted himself outside a mosque during Ashura ceremony in Chabahar, Sistan-Baluchestan province, killing 39 people and wounding over 100 others. Women and children were among the victims.
In the statement the Majlis human rights committee asked foreign ministry to vigorously pursue the issue through UN and human rights bodies.
The foreign ministry should follow the case until an outcome has been reached, the statement read.
Why the UN and human rights organizations didn’t make a stance towards the killing of innocent Iranians by this group, MPs noted in the statement.
“Isn’t it the time the UN issued human rights resolutions to oppose the U.S., Britain, and the Zionist regime’s state terrorism?”
The terrorist group Jundullah claimed responsibility for the blast, saying it was retaliation for the execution of the group’s shadowy leader, Abdolmalek Rigi, in June.
In a televised confession in February 2010, Rigi confessed that the U.S. administration had assured him of unlimited military aid and funding for waging an insurgency against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Rigi disclosed that in a Dubai meeting with CIA agents he was promised unlimited support that included a military base anywhere near the Iranian border equipped with weaponry and training facilities.
