Interior Minister: Pakistan should fight terrorism
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Jan 31, IRNA -- Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said on Monday that Pakistan's government should not allow terrorists to be equipped and trained inside that country.
He made the remark in Tehran when asked by reporters about his talks with the Pakistani officials in Tehran.
Asked whether anything has been done about the terrorists who are trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Mohammad-Najjar responded that the Interior Ministry is pursuing the matter after the recent terrorist incidents in Chabahar and Zahedan.
'Pakistan should not let the terrorists get trained inside its territory,' the minister added.
Mohammad-Najjar pointed out that the Islamic Republic of Iran is still pursuing its security talks with Pakistani officials.
Terrorists affiliated to Abdolmalik Rigi group have perpetrated numerous crimes during 2006-2010 in Sistan-Baluchestan province. Abdolmalik Rigi was arrested on February 23, 2010 after his plane was ordered to land in the Iranian territory after crossing the Persian Gulf waters.
Rigi had been invited to a military base in Kyrgyzstan. His plane took off from Dubai in UAE before being ordered to land by Iranian officials.
Rigi was executed in Iran for the numerous crimes he had committed.
In 2006, Rigi and his group blocked the Zabol-Zahedan road in eastern Iran and killed 22 civilians who were passengers of vehicles traveling on the road, just before the holidays of the Iranian New Year.
