Recently, a suicide bomber killed five senior commanders of the powerful Revolutionary Guard and at least 37 others Sunday near the Pakistani border in the heartland of a potentially escalating Sunni insurgency, on 18th October 2009.
The attack — which also left dozens wounded — was the most high-profile strike against security forces in an outlaw region of armed tribal groups, drug smugglers and Sunni rebels known as Jundallah, or Soldiers of God.

Today, Iran Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said, “They cross into Iran illegally. They are based in Pakistan.” This must be a music to the ear of Indian diplomats and government. So far only India has been accusing of Pakistan on cross border terrorism from Pakistani soil.
Pakistan denies those charges by India and this time also they denied strongly the charges by Iran. It may be mentioned that the blast on 18th October, 2009 has been claimed by Jundallah group led by militant Abdolmalek Rigi which has been waging an insurgency against Tehran for nearly a decade as part of its fight for the rights of the Sunni Baluch population of Sistan-Baluchestan.
Intelligence Minister Moslehi of Iran demanded that Islamabad clarify its position. “According to the evidence, the Pakistan intelligence service is linked to the Rigi group and Pakistan has to clarify its position regarding the group,” He is quoted to be saying. This can surely make matters complicated for Pakistan which is waging a bloody war against Taliban in its southern Waziristan province.
