Iran,
Pakistan to Adopt Joint Mechanism against Terrorism
Islamabad, Oct 24, (RHC).-
Pakistan and Iran have agreed to adopt a joint mechanism for
beating terrorism Saturday, local TV channel reported.
It was decided in a meeting between Pakistani Federal
Interior Minister Rehman Malik and his Iranian counterpart
Mootafa Najjar in Islamabad, the private TV GEO News
reported.
According to sources, during the meeting, the Iranian
minister handed over proofs of Sistan suicide attack to
Malik and urged to hand over the culprits to Iran.
Rehman Malik assured his Iranian counterpart that Islamabad
would fully cooperate with Tehran in the arrest of the
accused behind the recent Sistan suicide attack.
Iranian minister arrived in Pakistan days after a terrorist
attack that killed seven commanders of Iran's elite
Revolutionary Guards and up to 42 other people on Oct. 18 in
Iranian south-eastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
Iranian authorities charged that the attack had been plotted
from neighboring Pakistan, but Pakistan said that the
mastermind of the attack is actually in Afghanistan, not in
Pakistan.
