Gunmen kill 6 police officers in southeast Iran
Fox News
Armed militants attacked a police convoy in southeastern Iran on Tuesday, killing six officers. The Jaish al-Adl group has claimed responsibility for the ambush.
The report could not be independently verified. The militants have allegedly been fighting for greater rights for the ethnic Baluch minority in the region. Iran and some other nations consider it to be a terrorist group.
The attack was the second in as many weeks targeting security forces, indicating deterioration of the security situation in the region. Last week's clashes in three separate areas of the province left 10 Iranian troops and 18 militants killed during the fighting and six more members of the security forces died later in the hospital.
