Pakistan and Iran have agreed to install a joint surveillance system, exchange relevant information and deploy more troops on Pak-Iran border to block the crossing of terrorists and criminals. In the aftermath of the recent October 18 suicide bombing on Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, the interior ministers of the two countries in their meeting have decided to deploy additional forces on the border.
Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar on Friday called on Interior Minister Rehman Malik here. Pakistani and Iranian authorities will prepare and install joint surveillance system on border areas immediately and enhance bilateral co-operation, in this regard, said Interior Minister Rehman Malik while talking to media after his meeting with his Iranian counterpart.
Malik said Iran has demanded handing over of Abdul Malik Regi along with other leaders and activists of Jandullah (soldiers of Allah). However, Pakistan has time and again made it clear that Regi and his accomplices, responsible for terrorist attacks in Iran, are not present in Pakistan, Malik said.
The Interior Minister said the two wanted men by Iran are in Pakistan's custody, but their identities are unknown so far. After receiving details from the Iranian authorities regarding these two persons, Pakistan will decide either to hand them over to Iran or not, he added.
Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar arrived in the Capital to discuss ways of cracking down on a Sunni rebel group behind a deadly attack on the elite Revolutionary Guards. Najjar is leading a large security delegation to Islamabad for talks with his Pakistani counterpart and other top officials on means to fight Jandullah.
Iran on Tuesday turned up the heat on Pakistan saying that Jandullah, which claimed responsibility for the October 18 suicide bombing, is based on its territory. Islamabad denied the allegations. Top commanders of the Revolutionary Guards were among 42 people killed in the attack - the deadliest assault in recent years on Iran's prestigious military force, which was set up after the 1979 Islamic revolution.
