The head of the Jundullah gang, Abdulmalik Rigi, has admitted receiving assistance from the terrorist group Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO). The al-Qaeda-affiliated Jundullah is a sectarian Sunni organization that occasionally launches terrorist attacks against Shias in the southeastern Iranian province of Baluchestan from across the border in Pakistan. Their latest outrage was a suicide bombing in a Shia mosque in Zahedan, the provincial capital. Last Thursday’s bombing killed 25 worshippers and injured more than a hundred. There have been persistent intelligence reports of collaborations between the MKO and Jundullah in the past. But, in a significant admission, Rigi told a US-based satellite TV station, monitored by the ISNA news agency on June 2, “They (MKO) have had good intelligence collaborations with us and have provided us with much information about the activities of the Iranian regime.”
