TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Jaish al-Zulm "terrorist" group on Saturday claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on law enforcement forces in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan earlier in the day, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

Ten members of Iran's law enforcement forces, comprising conscripts and policemen, were killed in the "terrorist" attack in Taftan County, said Iran's police command in a statement.

It added the forces were ambushed by "criminal terrorists" as they were returning to their station from a mission to provide security services to citizens in the county.

Following the incident, a team, consisting of police commanders and officials from the Interior Ministry, was formed to investigate the attack.

Jaish al-Zulm, designated as a terrorist entity by Iran, has been involved in many attacks against Iranian security forces and civilians in recent years. Enditem
