“Three Iranian military personnel were killed in south-east Iran early on Wednesday when the vehicle they were travelling in was struck by a roadside bomb, Iranian media said. The reported killings – near to where the borders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet – come at a time of heightened tension in the region as separatist Sunni Islamist militants step up attacks on officially Shi’ite Iran. Heavily-armed drug smugglers are also active in the region.”
