Iranian guards kill Pakistani soldier near border - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
I suppose Pakistan will complain to UN/U.S/P5/OIC.Iranian border guards attacked a vehicle of Frontier Corps, a para-military force, inside Pakistani territory killing one personnel and injured another three on Friday morning.
Khan Wasey, the Spokesman FC told Dawn.com that Iranian border guards have been violating Pakistani territory since the past two days. He said the FC's vehicle was also damaged during the attack.
The injured personnel were rushed to Quetta for medical treatment.
Wasey said that Iranian border guards entered inside Pakistani territory and attacked the FC vehicle in Mand Tehsil of Balochistan's Kech district.
In another incident, Wasey said 30 Iranian border guards entered into Pakistan's town of Nokundi which borders Iran and made the residents of a nearby village hostage for six hours.
"They subjected the residents to physiological torture and then left," he said.
Inspector General Frontier Corps, Major General Ejaz Shahid, strongly condemned the infiltration of Iranian guards and vowed to defend the border in the case of future violation.
Additional FC personnel were called in the area to avoid occurrence of another untoward incident and overall security was tightened at the porous 900km border between the two countries.
FC and Home and Tribal Affairs Department Balochistan have informed the Foreign Office with regard to recent violations by Iranian border guards, an officer of the Home Department, who declined to be named told Dawn.com.
Within next few days a formal protest is going to be lodged with Iranian high-ranking officials, he added.
Panic prevailed in Pakistan border towns in the aftermath of Iranian infiltration in the area and their continued attacks.
