Iranian Security Forces Suffer Heavy Losses in Militant Attacks
Suspected Sunni Muslim militants from the Jaish al-Adl group killed at least 11 Iranian security force members and suffered 16 fatalities in attacks on Iran's Revolutionary Guards headquarters in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan. The clashes took place in the towns of Chabahar and Rask, with 10 other security officers injured. The area, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistan, has long been the site of frequent clashes between Iranian security forces and Sunni militants as well as drug traffickers.
