TEHRAN, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- The forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have smashed two "terrorist" teams in separate operations in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Sunday.

The forces managed to identify and attack two houses belonging to the "terrorists" in the northern and southern parts of the province, killing six of them and detaining some others, the report said, without specifying the date of the operations and the detainees' number.

The report said the "terrorists," who had been armed and trained, sought to perpetrate "acts of sabotage and terror" in the province.

It added that among the items seized from the "terrorists," were 25 kg of explosive materials, a number of bombs, detonators and two-way radios.

Sistan and Baluchestan, a province bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan, has suffered several terrorist attacks targeting both civilians and security forces in recent years. Enditem
