Iran's Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi warned the Pakistani government on Tuesday over hosting Jundallah terrorists, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Moslehi warned the Pakistani government against its present approach towards the terrorist group of Jundallah which has claimed responsibility for the recent deadly attack in southeastern Iran, the report said.
"We have good evidence and documents ... which show that Abdulmalek Rigi (Jundallah leader) and all his terrorist agents are in contact with Pakistani intelligence system," Moslehi was quoted as saying.
"An Iranian delegation is due to visit Pakistan to present them with the documents," he told reporters.
On Tuesday, the Ground Force Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, urged Iranian officials to issue the required orders for his troops to attack the Jundallah terrorist group in Pakistan, Fars said.
"This is not acceptable to us that terrorists enter Iran from a neighboring country and stage terrorist action," the report quoted Pakpour as saying.
The deadly suicide attack by Sunni rebel group Jundallah (God's soldiers) occurred early Sunday in Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province near Iran's border with Pakistan while the local officials were preparing a ceremony in which the local tribal leaders were to meet the military commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
Nearly 45 people were killed, including a number of the IRGC commanders, and dozens of others wounded.
