IRGC forces capture nearly a dozen senior PJAK members in western Iran
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force has captured nearly a dozen senior members of the so-called Party for Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) militant group in the western province of Kermanshah on the border with Iraq.
The commander of the IRGC Ground Force’s Najaf Ashraf Base said on Saturday that servicemen with the elite force, in cooperation with intelligence forces, identified and arrested 11 chieftains of the anti-Iran terror outfit during an operation in the province.
Brigadier General Mohsen Karimi stated that the individuals were operating in the form of two separate terror cells and were in direct contact with the main elements of the terrorist group.
They were seeking to carry out acts of sabotage and undermine public security. They were, however, detected and captured before any terrorist attack.
Karimi noted that IRGC intelligence forces, together with servicemen from the IRGC Ground Force’s Najaf Ashraf Base, could obtain valuable and accurate information about the activities of the terrorists over the past few weeks, and accordingly identified and arrested them.
PJAK is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militant group based in the mountainous Kurdish-majority regions of southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq.
