Iranian border guards have arrested a suicide bomber who intended to infiltrate the country's borders with Afghanistan, a security official revealed on Sunday. "After the Friday suicide operation in Chabahar city (in Southeastern Iran), yesterday, a person intended to cross the border with Afghanistan but was detained by the border guards," Commander of the Iranian Border Guard Units General Hossein Zolfaqari told reporters on Sunday. "The person wore a military uniform similar to that of the Iranian forces underneath and covered it with local clothes," he said, adding that after investigations it was revealed that he aimed to carry out a suicide attack against the innocent Iranian people. "Based on investigations and interrogations, he was due to enter the country and receive the bombing devices and explosives through subsequent orders," Zolfaqari said, adding that the terrorist is an affiliate of the Jundollah group - a CIA-backed terrorist organization with a long record in staging terrorist operations in Iran. He underlined that the detained terrorist was carrying a foreign passport. In relevant remarks on Saturday, Zolfaqari also said that more than 5 terrorist attacks were thwarted in different parts of Iran during the last 8 months. "Outlaws try to carry out terrorist acts in Iran ahead of special events, but over 5 terrorist operations have been discovered and thwarted since (the Iranian month of) Esfand (February 19 to March 19)," he said.
