TEHRAN: A police captain has been killed in Iran’s restive southeast in an attack claimed by a jihadist group, local media reported on Saturday.
Captain Abolghassem Piri from the police command in Suran village in Sistan-Baluchistan province on the border with Pakistan “was assassinated by armed criminals”, the ISNA news agency reported, citing police. The Sunni jihadist group Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice in Arabic) claimed the attack in a message on Telegram.
ISNA said the attack took place “inside a store where the owner was killed in the shooting”. One of Iran’s poorest regions, Sistan-Baluchistan has long been plagued by unrest involving drug-smuggling gangs, rebels from the Baluchi minority and Sunni extremists.
