DUBAI, Dec 31 (Reuters) - A little-known Sunni rebel organisation says it has abducted nine Iranian soldiers to pressure Tehran to free imprisoned members of the group, Al Arabiya television said on Sunday.

A caller speaking for the Jundollah (God's Soldiers) said the soldiers were seized near Iran's border with Pakistan, and demanded the release of 16 group members, the satellite television channel said.

Iranian officials were not immediately available to comment. In July, the group said it beheaded an Iranian security agent it had abducted the previous month.

Iran's remote southeastern areas on the border with Pakistan have seen sporadic unrest involving the Baluchi minority, and are a major drug trafficking route used by armed smugglers.

Some 90 percent of Iran's nearly 70 million people are Shi'ite Muslims. Sunnis among the Kurdish, Turkmen and Baluchi ethnic minorities have often complained of discrimination.

I wonder where those rebels got the idea that taking hostages and threatening their lives is an acceptable tactic?

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Operations Chief of al Qaeda that we captured about three years ago, is an ethnic Baluchi. Seems that a bunch of them joined al Qaeda.

I guess the mad mullahs in Tehran are just not insane enough for these lunatics.

Thanks for the ping. This is interesting. Jundullah is mentioned in our old Nek-thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1155685/posts?page=1058#1058 as Jundullah is related to al Qaeda.
