Jundallah Claims Responsbility for Zahedan Bus Blast
A Sunni Muslim group has claimed responsibility for bombing a bus carrying Revolutionary Guards in Iran, killing at least 11 people. This was rare because normally there is not a lot of attacks in Iran and this was one of the worst in years. This attack was hit in the majority Sunni city of Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, in the mostly Shia country. All the revolutionary guards were shia how ever. This city has had a lot of problems with violent Sunni terrorists like once a number of Iranian soldiers have been attack with surprise or kidnapped there in the past. This had happened on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 which is the Iranian Revolutionary Day and a day after, Iranian Intelligence have found the reasonability of this attack. They are Jundallah or A.K.A Army of God. This group has done violent attacks in Iran before and today they are described as a group of bandits. Jundallah are alleged of increasing cross-border attacks from
Pakistan and have from influence from the Pakistanis. The Mayor of Zahedan has said that the issue to be taken up with Pakistan. He also added that bandit groups in Sistan-Baluchestan had links with British and American intelligence agencies before and now like Jundallah for weaponry and bombs. How ever the Americans denied the charges.
