Following the deadly terrorist attack in Rask County in Iran, Iranian Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei vowed to bring the attackers to justice, as he sent condolences to the nation and the families of the martyrs.
"The enemies of Islamic Iran, who are shocked and enraged by the authority of our establishment, have once again used their mercenaries in terrorist groups to spill the blood of a number of border police soldiers who were engaged in providing security and peace to the people," he stated.
Mohseni-Ejei additionally urged provincial judiciary officials to take all necessary measures to arrest and serve justice to these "terrorists that are linked with global imperialism."
Early this morning, US backed terrorists based in Pakistan crossed the border and attacked a local police headquarters in the Rask county. 11 police officers were martyred.

Simultaneously, the head of Sistan and Baluchestan Police, 2nd Brigadier General Dustali Jalilian, announced that security forces will "firmly" respond to the "cowardly" terror attack to make them "regret" their attack in committing the crime.
'Cowardly and blind'
Iran's Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Police Affairs, Majid Mirahmadi, stated that the police post was attacked from several directions, and deployed reinforcements were ambushed as well.
He added that two of the perpetrators were killed, and one was injured and arrested but the rest escaped.
This comes after 11 police officers were killed and seven injured after a terrorist attack on a police post in southeastern Iran.
