Iran has denounced Pakistan's failure and inability to secure its own borders after five Iranian soldiers were kidnapped and taken into its eastern neighbour by extremists.
Iranian police chief Esmail Ahmadi-Moghadam said there were unhappy with the Pakistani government over the abduction of guards and their transfer to Pakistan.
Jaish-ul Adl, the rebel group formed in 2012 whose name in Arabic means Army of Justice, claimed responsibility for the abductions in Iran's restive southeast province of Sistan-Baluchestan, Dawn News reports.
According to the report, the group posted pictures on its Facebook page of the soldiers, handcuffed and being held in an unknown location.
The foreign ministry in Tehran summoned Pakistan's charge d'affaires, demanding that Islamabad 'act firmly against the leaders and members of the terrorist group who have fled into Pakistan,' the report added.
