Tehran: Fourteen members of the Iranian security forces, including Revolutionary Guards intelligence officers, were kidnapped on Tuesday at the volatile border between the southeast and Pakistan, state media reported.
Border guards were "kidnapped between 4 and 5 am in the Lulakdan region by a terrorist group," the official IRNA news agency reported.
Lulakdan is a small village located 150 km southeast of Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province (south-east).
Of the 14, two were members of the Revolutionary Guards intelligence unit, and seven were Basij militia volunteers involved in a "security operation."
The others were regular border guards, according to the Young Journalists' Club, a public information site.
The reports did not name a specific group as a suspect in the kidnapping.
The region has long been a strong point, with Baluchi separatists and Pakistan-based extremists routinely attacking Iranian security posts.
