‘Iran attack suspects will be hunted down’

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday that the masterminds behind the deadly suicide bomb attack against the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that claimed 27 lives will be brought to justice.

At least 13 others were injured when a suicide bomber targeted a bus carrying IRGC members on a highway near the city of Zahedan, located close to the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan in Iran's SistanBalochistan province.

According to the semi-official news agency Fars, Jeish al-Adl, a Sunni extremist group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
