TEHRAN – National police chief announced on Sunday that the police has handed fighting terrorists in the Balochistan part of Iran to the country’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Except for border areas of Sistan-Baluchestan Province, Jundullah activities in the country have been “reduced to zero!!!” and now the mission of fighting Jundullah in the region has been taken up by IRGC and Basij forces, Esmaeil Ahmadi-Moqaddam told reporters in a press conference in Tehran.
Militants of the Jundullah ring regularly cross over into Iranian Balochistan from their hideouts in neighboring Pakistani Balochistan to harass, kidnap or attack IRGC, Basij forces and police officers.
He also pointed out that 44 percent of Iran’s borders are now “under special control” of the national police and that some plans have been prepared to increase the figure to 60 percent by the end of this year (20th March 2010).
Ahmadi-Moqaddam said by carefully monitoring the borders in Sistan-Baluchestan and Kordistan provinces police forces have succeeded to reduce fuel smuggling by 90 percent and goods smuggling by 80 percent.
He also noted that police forces confiscate one thirds of narcotics smuggled into Iran
