Are the Zahedan clashes a sign of changing the pattern of insecurity in Balochistan?
Zahidan witnessed a militant armed clash for about two hours on Friday morning. State media say the clash began after Revolutionary Guard forces suspected a car on University Street and two armed gunmen were killed and one person arrested. This incident took place a few days after reports were published about the killing of four forces belonging to the Fatimyoun Brigade in the Rudamahi area of Zahidan; Parallel reports have made claims about the deployment of Fatimiun Brigade forces in Sistan and Balochistan, but have not been independently verified. Mehdi Nakheel Ahmadi, an expert on the issues of Sistan and Balochistan, first answers the question, what picture do these developments give to the security situation of Sistan and Balochistan?
