(BSS/AFP) - At least 11 Iranian police officers were killed in a jihadist-claimed attack on a police station in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan, an official told state television on Friday.

"In the terrorist attack on the police headquarters in the town of Rask, 11 policemen were killed, and others were wounded," said Alireza Marhamati, deputy governor of the province, adding that a number of assailants were also killed in the attack, which was claimed by the Sunni jihadist Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) group.
