Report: Gunmen kill 8 Iranian guards near Pakistan border
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency says gunmen have killed eight Iranian border guards in the country's volatile southeast, near the border with Pakistan.
The report says the attack took place on Monday in the restive Sistan-Baluchistan province. Fars says four of the killed soldiers were conscripts.
The area has been scene of occasional clashes between Iranian forces and militant groups believed to be affiliated with al-Qaida.
