Rights advocates behind terror act

Iran’s first vice president says Tehran has enough evidence which shows the so-called human rights sympathizers were behind the recent deadly terror bombings in southeastern Iran.

“Reports and analyses suggest the governments which claim to be supporters of human rights were behind the incident,” Mohammad Reza Rahimi was quoted by ISNA as saying on Monday.

“The perpetrators of such crimes are trained in neighboring countries,” he said.

“The Iranian government will seriously follow up the issue and bring the perpetrators behind the incident to justice,” the first vice president underlined.

“If regional governments do not cooperate, Iran will prosecute the perpetrators on its own,” Rahimi added.

“As the vicious hands involved in the incidents have been revealed to Iran, we are set to deal with the issue through legal and international channels”, the veep said.

He said American and British forces as well as Israeli elements operating in Iran’s backyard are involved in the terror plot.

“The disaster was so tragic that even they themselves had to condemn it before the world public opinion”, he added.

Two bombs went off in quick succession outside the Zahedan Grand Mosque in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchestan last Thursday.

At leat 27 people were killed and more than a 100 injured in the terrorist act.
