AhlulBayt News Agency: Iran’s embassy in Islamabad has strongly condemned a “cowardly and inhumane attack” that left eight Pakistani nationals dead in Sistan-and-Baluchestan province, southeast Iran.
Terrorism is a common threat to the entire region where “treacherous elements,” backed by international terrorism, are after disturbing peace and security, the embassy said in a statement on Sunday.
It added that all countries need to join efforts to eradicate terrorism and extremism in all their forms, which have taken the lives of thousands of people in the past decades.
The eight Pakistani nationals were reportedly killed on Saturday after unidentified gunmen attacked a workshop where they were working in a village in Sistan-and-Baluchestan province.
According to IRNA’s correspondent in Islamabad, the office of Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson has said that the country has contacted Iranian officials and is waiting for details on the incident.
