FREQUENT ATTACKS OCCUR IN THE REGION

In armed attacks carried out in Sistan-Baluchistan province on September 30, 3 police officers were killed. On October 1, individuals in a passing vehicle opened fire on a school, resulting in the deaths of 4 people. The attacks were claimed by a group named Jaish ul-Adl, which occasionally carries out attacks in the region.

Since 2003, the leader of the group Jundallah, Abdulmalik Rigi, who had carried out numerous attacks on civilian and military targets in the country, was captured and executed in 2010. After that, the group changed its name to Jaish ul-Adl in 2012. The group occasionally carries out attacks in the Sistan and Baluchistan region near the Pakistan border. Iran claims that the group, which it alleges "defends the rights of the Sunni Baluch people," is supported by foreign intelligence services.
