Throngs of uniformed mourners carried the flag-draped coffins of the deputy head of the Revolutionary Guards' ground forces, General Nourali Shoushtari, and other officers blown up by a suicide bomber in volatile southeastern Iran on Sunday. Fifteen Guards members were among the 42 people killed, including six senior commanders, Iranian media reported. Tribal chiefs and other civilians also died. "The martyrdom of commander Shoushtari added a black page to the U.S. and Israeli terrorist file," said armed forces head Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, quoted by IRNA news agency. A Sunni rebel group, Jundollah (God's soldiers), has claimed responsibility for the attack in the impoverished province of Sistan-Baluchestan bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan. Iran, mainly Shi'ite Muslim, says Jundollah is backed by the United States and Britain and has suggested it also has ties with majority Sunni Pakistan. London, Washington and Islamabad have denied involvement. Tehran has often accused its Western foes of seeking to destabilize sensitive border areas. The head of Sistan-Baluchestan's judiciary, Ebrahim Hamidi, said the suicide bomber had been identified and that he was from the province. "The elements behind the terrorist attack will be arrested soon," Fars News Agency quoted him as saying. Iran's state Press TV said three people had been detained over the bombing, but did not give details. Sunday's attack, the deadliest such incident in Iran since its 1980-88 war with Iraq, took place a day before talks started between Iranian and Western officials in Vienna aimed at allaying concern about Iran's nuclear ambitions. Thousands of people, mostly military men, attended the funeral ceremony at a Guards base in Tehran, holding pictures of the victims and of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "Khamenei, we are ready for martyrdom," one banner read. "BORDER OF FRIENDSHIP" The attack highlighted deepening instability in Iran's southeast. Many minority Sunnis live in the desert area, which has seen an increase in bombings and clashes between security forces, ethnic Baluch Sunni insurgents and drug traffickers. Qasem Soleimani, who heads the Guards' elite Qods force, said it had made it more determined to defend the values of the 1979 Islamic revolution which ousted a pro-U.S. government. "We are an organization which is awaiting to become martyrs," Soleimani said, repeating allegations that the aim of the suicide bombing was to stir sectarian strife. Continued...
