Ten Iranian border guards were killed after gunmen carried out a surprise attack against police vehicles in the Gohar Kuh district of Taftan County last Saturday and opened fire on them, Press TV reported.<\/p>\n
Police spokesman General Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi said on Sunday that the leader of the terrorist group was identified and killed by an anti-terrorist unit in a complex intelligence operation earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
Over the past 24 hours, he added, police also arrested two other terrorists and six individuals who were supporting them.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that the detainees have confessed to committing terrorist acts in Iran over the past years and will be punished.<\/p>\n
The police official noted that the main members of the terrorism group have been detained in less than one week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe fulfilled the promise we made to avenge the pure blood of the martyred police,\u201d Montazer al-Mahdi said.<\/p>\n
In a statement last week, Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force\u2019s Quds Base said it had arrested four terrorists and taken down four others involved in the bloody attack.<\/p>\n
It added that several other terrorists were also injured.<\/p>\n
In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the United Nations Security Council “condemned in the strongest terms” the “cowardly terrorist attack on a patrol unit of the Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Goharkooh region of the city of Taftan.”<\/p>\n
