TEHRAN, May 4: Iranian armed forces have arrested four Sunni rebels near the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan and three Kurdish rebels close to the frontier with Iraq, a government newspaper said on Thursday.

The rebels from Sistan-o-Balochistan were identified as members of Jundallah.

The newspaper said a ‘large weapons cache’ was found.

On Iran’s western borders, security forces reportedly detained three Kurdish rebels from the Pejak group.
