Alwaght-Iranian security forces prevented terrorist attacks earlier this month targeting the country’s southeast, including Kerman province.
Iran's border police commander Brigadier General Qassem Rezaei made the announcement Wednesday at a ceremony in the city of Kerman to honor an Iranian soldier killed during a mission against the plot devised by the so called Jaish-ul-Adl terrorist group during the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
The Iranian commander noted that the terrorists, who were carrying large amounts of explosives, had been “trained” and “intended to carry out a suicide mission in the southeast,” adding that three terrorists were captured, two of whom were injured.
Rezaei quoted one of the captured terrorists as saying that if the plot had not been foiled, the terrorist mission could have been “influential in the outcome of negotiations” between Tehran and the world powers over its nuclear program.
Jaish-ul-Adl has already been engaged in such attacks as well as other criminal activities in recent years in Iran.
In July, a senior Iranian lawmaker announced that Iran had dismantled nearly two dozen terrorist groups in the Eastern parts of the country in a six-month period.
"The security forces have apprehended 20 terrorist groups in Eastern Iran in the past six months," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mohammad Reza Mohseni Sani said.
He reiterated that Iran is fully monitoring the activities of the terrorist groups trying to enter the country.
Recently Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced that security forces had apprehended over 30 people affiliated to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network.
