One of the five Iranian border guards kidnapped by a Sunni militant group on the Iran-Pakistan border has been killed.
Jaish al-Adl, a Baluch militant group, announced the execution of Jamshid Danaeifar March 22. After conflicting statements by Iranian officials, the news was confirmed March 24 by Iranian security officials from Sistan-Baluchistan province. Danaeifar, the 27-yeard-old sole officer among the border guards kidnapped in February in Sistan-Baluchistan, had a 10-day-old son.
