Rouhani swears deaths will be avenged
Print Edition
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has vowed revenge against the 鈥渕ercenary group鈥 behind a suicide bombing which killed 27 people in the southeast.
鈥淲e will certainly make this mercenary group pay for the blood of our martyrs,鈥 he said. 鈥淭he main root of terrorism in the region is America and Zionists, and some oil-producing countries in the region also financially support the terrorists.鈥
Iran鈥檚 supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the attack鈥檚 perpetrators were certainly linked to 鈥渢he spying agencies of some regional and trans-regional countries.鈥
The attack, which targeted a busload of Revolutionary Guards in the volatile southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan, was one of the deadliest on Iranian security forces in years.
The bomber struck as the troops were returning from a patrol mission on the border with Pakistan, where Sunni Baluchi separatist and jihadist groups have bases. The troops killed belonged to the Guards鈥 14th Imam Hussein Division, the Tasnim news agency reported, listing their names and their ages, which ranged from 21 to 52.
It came just days after Iran held more than a week of celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
