Iranian security forces arrest Daesh member in Sistan and Baluchestan
Iranian security forces have arrested a member of the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group in the country’s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
Doostali Jalilian, the provincial police chief, was cited by Tasnim news agency as saying on Saturday that the forces found out after “technical and intelligence measures” that a Daesh member was secretly living in a village in Zabol County.
“After the close monitoring of the person’s actions, his hiding place was finally identified and the Daesh member was arrested in a synergic and coordinated operation by the police and Intelligence Department,” Jalilian said.
According to the police chief of Sistan and Baluchestan, it was found out in the primary investigation that the person, who has citizenship of one of the neighboring countries, was promoting the Takfiri terror outfit in the area with a “purposeful plan.”
Earlier in the year, Iranian security forces dismantled two teams affiliated with the Daesh terrorist group in the southeastern province before they could sow insecurity in the area.
The two teams were dismantled in a joint operation by the Intelligence Ministry, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and the police, with reports saying the members of the teams and a number of their accomplices were arrested and handed over to the judiciary.
The teams were planning to sow insecurity in the country’s southeast in the aftermath of the unrest sparked after the mid-September death of a young Iranian woman in police custody in the capital Tehran.
