Nine killed in courthouse attack in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan province, Iranian media report

TEHRAN: At least nine people were killed in an armed attack by the Jaish Al-Adl Baluch group on a courthouse in Iran’s restive Sistan-Baluchestan province on Saturday, including three of the assailants, state media reported. Another 22 were injured, according to the report. Jaish Al-Adl confirmed the deaths of its three members in the clashes with security forces in Zahedan, the capital of the far southeastern province bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan. Sistan-Baluchestan is home to Iran’s Baluch minority, who have long complained of economic marginalization and political exclusion.
