Iran Ministry of Intelligence released Thursday its second statement announcing the arrest of 35 “suicide terrorist operatives” in connection with the January 3 attacks in Kerman. The attack included bombings, which reportedly killed at least 103 and injured more than 100 people. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has taken responsibility for the attack.
Expressing regret and condolences for the victims, the ministry provided information on the ongoing investigation. Abdullah Tajiki, a Tajikistani, was identified as the main designer and supporter of the operation. Another terrorist, Bazirov “Bouzerov” from Tajikistan, was revealed to have links to the ISIS sect. The first terrorist detonated a suicide vest 700 meters from the Golzar of the martyrs, targeting the grave of General Haj Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian General killed in a US strike. The second suicide bomber reportedly detonated 1000 meters away.
The ministry initiated operations to identify and track down the alleged terrorists, leading to arrests and the discovery of the ISIS team’s home. Explosive devices were allegedly prepared but hidden in the courtyard. The ministry reported that the process of identifying plotters and their connections continues, with 35 arrests across various provinces. The ministry appeared to indicate that they would continue the search beyond the country’s borders and called for Iranian’s continued support in reporting suspicious cases. Cooperation from various entities, including the Information Coordination Council, judicial authorities, security forces and the governor of Kerman, was highlighted for helping secure the alleged terrorists.
Earlier in its first announcement on January 5, the ministry expressed deep regret and condolences to the affected families and informed them about the ongoing investigation. Also, Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei had earlier said in a tweet:
Provincial officials are treating the incident as a terrorist attack. Reports suggest that the attackers used explosive-laden suitcases with remote controllers. Additionally, a stampede ensued, causing further injuries as people panicked after the explosions.
