Tehran - A group of Afghan bandits with links to United States and British security services has killed 22 people in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan, Iran's police chief said on Friday.
Brigadier-General Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam was commenting on police reports that a group of armed bandits crossed the Afghanistan border and killed 21 people and injured another seven.
The victims were driving in vehicles between the border city of Zabol and Zahedan, the provincial capital, at the time of the attacks.
Sistan-Baluchistan's deputy governor general for security, Mohsen Sadeghi, later raised the death toll to 22 and said that "according to the reports, one of the seven injured people is in a critical condition."
"A number of victims' families have told us that their relatives have been taken hostage, but we cannot confirm it yet," he added.
Ahmadi-Moqaddam told state television there was information that the bandits had had meetings with the British and American security services.
"These services have dictated plans to the bandits on how to destabilise the area. They are trying to spread disputes between Shiites and Sunnis.
"This is a terrorist action against innocent civilians," he said, upon arriving at Zahedan's airport.
Ahmadi-Moqaddam said the bandits had killed Shiites, who were stopped at a mock checkpoint.
"There is the possibility that the bandits have escaped to Afghanistan, since the area is close to the border," he added.
