Zahedan attack: Iran says will never give up pursuing terrorists

Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi says the country’s intelligence and security apparatus will never abandon pursuing terrorist groups even beyond the borders.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Vahidi said security forces in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, gave a harsh response to the terrorists during a deadly attack against a police station on Saturday that led to the killing of four armed terrorists and two police officers.

“What happened [in Zahedan] yesterday was a terrorist incident and in fact these men entered [the police station] as ordinary people and then carried out a terrorist act,” the interior minister said.

Vahidi urged the neighboring country of Pakistan to toughen its border control measures.
