TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) forces busted a team of terrorists in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan, killing two.
The IRGC Ground Force's Quds Base said in a statement that the team has been smashed before carrying out its plans for terrorist operations in southern parts of the province.
The anti-terrorism operation was held in cooperation with the Intelligence Ministry forces, the statement added.
Two terrorists were killed and a third has been arrested in the attack, which also resulted in the confiscation of ammunition, weapons and explosives, it said.
