Rask terror attack: Judiciary chief vows to bring perpetrators to justice

Iranian Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei condemned the terrorist attack that targeted a police post in the southeast of Iran, vowing to bring attackers to justice.

The police headquarters in Rask County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, was attacked by a number of terrorist groups at around 2 AM local time on Friday.

According to official reports, 11 police forces were killed in the terrorist attack and seven more were wounded, some in critical condition.

In a message on Friday, Mohseni-Ejei expressed condolences to the Iranian nation and the families of the martyrs.

“Enemies of Islamic Iran, who are shocked and enraged by the authority of our establishment, have once again used their mercenaries in terrorist groups to spill the blood of a number of border police soldiers who were engaged in providing security and peace to the people,” he said.

He further urged the judiciary officials of the province to adopt all necessary measures for arresting and bringing to justice these “terrorists that are linked with global imperialism.”

Meanwhile, Head of Sistan and Baluchestan Police 2nd Brigadier General Dustali Jalilian said that the security forces will “firmly” respond to the “cowardly” terror attack, making terrorists “regret” their attack.

The so-called Jaish-ul-Adl terror group claimed responsibility for the attack.
