Pakistan to fence border after terrorist attack in Iran: Army
Tehran (KNA) - Pakistan has promised to boost security cooperation with Iran, saying that the two neighboring countries are considering fencing the common border to keep terrorists in check.
"We both are considering fencing the border so that no third party could sabotage the brotherly and friendly relations through any nefarious act," Army spokesperson and director-general of Inter-Services Public Relation (ISPR) Major General Asif Gafoor said.
Islamabad plans to fence 950 kilometers of the border linking Pakistan's Balochistan Province with Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Pakistani media quoted him as saying.
Gafoor's comments came days after a terrorist attack originating from inside the borders of Pakistan killed 27 members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Iran.
On February 13, a bomber identified by the IRGC as Pakistani national Hafiz Mohammad Ali slammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a bus carrying off-duty IRGC members in Sistan and Baluchestan.
