Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards killed five Kurdish rebels
Tehran - Arab Today

Ten militants and a police officer have been killed in separate armed clashes in Iran, local media reported Monday.

Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards killed five Kurdish rebels near the country's northwestern border with Iraq, an official statement said.

"A team of five from the PJAK terrorist splinter group... has been identified and destroyed in the Sardasht region" on the Iraqi border, a Guards statement said on its official website.

It said the group was responsible for the death of three members of Iran's Basij militia more than a month ago.

No further details were provided about the operation.

The last reported clashes between Kurdish rebels and the Revolutionary Guards were in September, when two rebels and two Iranian soldiers were killed.

State television later Monday reported six more deaths in armed clashes in the southeastern Sistan-Baluchistan province.

One police officer and five militants were killed in the fighting, which pitted Iranian forces against the Sunni militant group Jaish-ul Adl.

Officials recovered "large amounts of explosives" after the clashes, state television website said.

Tehran accuses Jaish-ul Adl of having links with Al-Qaeda. The group has conducted several armed attacks inside Iranian territory in recent years.

PJAK -- the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan -- is an Iranian Kurdish party with close links to the Turkish Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Kurdish rebels periodically attack Iranian armed forces near the border with Iraq's Kurdish region.
