President Ahmadinejad made the remarks during the last night cabinet session condemning the recent terrorist operation in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Balouchestan which killed and injured over 60 people including several commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.



“We were informed that some security agents in Pakistan are cooperating with the main elements of this terrorist incident and therefore we consider it as our right to request for apprehending the criminals,” he reiterated.



He called on the security and police forces to act firmly to identify the agents behind the terrorist incident and bring them to justice.



Such a criminal act is to damage the existing profound bond between the Iranian people and authorities, he added.



President Ahmadinejad expressed his sympathy with the Iranian nation, particularly the bereaved families of the victims of the terrorist operation.



In related developments, the Pakistani charge d’affaires was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Sunday and was informed of Tehran’s protest against the use of Pakistani territories by terrorists and rebels.



Some 60 people were killed or injured in the terrorist act which took place when a bomber blew himself up during a meeting held for the unity of provincial Sunni and Shiite Muslims.



Acting Commander of the Ground Forces of IRGC and Commander of Qods Headquarters Brigadier General Nourali Shoushtari along with Commander of Sistan and Balouchestan IRGC Forces Brigadier General Rajabali Mohammadzadeh were among those killed in the fatal attack.
