Central Asian militant mayhem

While Pakistan finally gets its offensive underway against the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan in South Waziristan, the militant factions continue to spread mayhem throughout the region. This time it's Iran. The Jundallah — or Soldiers of God — took responsibility for an attack that killed five ranking members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in the Sistan-Baluchistan region. The Iranian leadership reflexively blamed the U.S. and the UK for this attack. The region is predominately Sunni and has been involved in a struggle with Tehran for years and the officials were there to try to smooth out relations. Both the Pakistanis and the Iranians have vowed to deal a 'crushing blow' to their militant groups. Sadly, recent history has shown that this may not work out as planned.
