QUETTA, Pakistan Pakistan police arrested 11 Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers Monday for illegally entering the country, amid tensions over a suicide attack that Tehran alleges was carried out by militants backed by Pakistani intelligence officials.

The 11 were taken into custody in Mashkel, close to the countries' shared border in the southwestern province of Baluchistan, police officer Dadur Raman said. He said officers were interrogating the men and had seized two vehicles.

Six Revolutionary Guard officers were among the 42 people killed Oct. 18 by a suicide bomber on the Iranian side of the border near Pishin. Iranian officials blamed the

Pakistan detains 11 Iranian Guards on the border

QUETTA: Pakistani forces detained 11 Iranian Revolutionary Guards on Monday for crossing into Pakistan days after an Iranian commander was
reported saying his men should be allowed to confront terrorists in Pakistan.

The Guards were arrested in the Mashkhel area on the border with Iran eight days after a suicide bomber killed 42 people, including six Revolutionary Guard commanders, in Iran's southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province.

A Sunni Muslim group Jundollah (God's soldiers), claimed responsibility for the blast.

Iran says the group operates from across the border in Pakistan. On Tuesday last week, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander said his force should be given permission to confront terrorists inside Pakistan, state media reported.

"It's a serious matter. We are investigating why they crossed into our territory," said a Pakistani border security official, who declined to be identified as he is not authorised to speak to the media.

Another Pakistani security official said Iranian border officials had told them that the encroachment was accidental and happened after the Guards launched an operation against Jundollah militants near the border.

The Iranians were being detained and it was not clear when they would be released, the Pakistani officials said.

Iran says the Jundollah group has bases in Pakistan and it has urged Pakistan to hand over its leader, Abdolmalik Rigi.

Pakistan condemned the Oct. 18 bombing and denied suggestions from the Iranian president that "some security agents" in Pakistan were cooperating with the bombers.

Pakistan also denied that Rigi was in Pakistan. Relations between Iran and Pakistan have been generally good in recent years and the neighbours are cooperating on plans to build a natural gas pipeline but Iran has said last week's suicide bombing would affect relations.

Pakistan has assured Iran that it would cooperate in tracking down and punishing those behind the attack.

Iran also accuses the United States and Britain of backing Jundollah.

Stephane Dudoignon, a Western expert on Sistan-Baluchestan, told Reuters in an interview last week the rise of Jundollah coincided with an explosion in drug smuggling from which it earned much of its funding.

Jundollah, Dudoignon said, drew its religious ideology from Deobandi Islam, a traditionalist Sunni school of thought which emerged in British India in the 19th century and has since spread across Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Analysts say its use of suicide bombings suggest it is increasingly influenced by the sectarian anti-Shi'ite agenda of some militant groups in Pakistan which also follow a Deobandi tradition -- as do the Afghan Taliban.

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

How could Iran be destabilizing Pakistan when Pakistan is harbouring so many terrorists of its neighbouring countries. In fact, it is the other way around. Pakistan is destabalizing India, Afghanistan and now Iran as well.

pakistan has nukes . it should and must use then on terrorists hiding in pesahwar, multan, rawalpindi, lahore, karachi, islamabad and other areas.

if he falls short on nukes i am sure india and iran as good neighbours will lend him some , just so that no terrorists are left of course. iran has biological weapons in plenty , they wouldnt mind using that on some paki cities which are left , just to kill terrorists.

its simple and easy.
