ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan and Iran have agreed upon adopting a joint mechanism for beating terrorism Saturday, local TV channel reported.
It was decided in a meeting between Pakistani Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik and his Iranian counterpart Mootafa Najjar in Islamabad, the private TV GEO News reported.
According to sources, during the meeting, the Iranian minister handed over proofs of Sistan suicide attack to Malik and urged to hand over the culprits to Iran.
Rehman Malik assured his Iranian counterpart that Islamabad would fully cooperate with Tehran in the arrest of the accused behind the recent Sistan suicide attack.
Iranian minister arrived in Pakistan days after a terrorist attack that killed seven commanders of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards and up to 42 other people on Oct. 18 in Iranian southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
It was reported that Abdolmalek Rigi, the head of the shadowy rebel group Jundallah, had "accepted the responsibility" for the attack.
Iranian authorities charged that the attack had been plotted from neighboring Pakistan and head of Jundallah group is in the country. But Pakistan said that the mastermind of the attack is in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan.
