TEHRAN, Iran - A car loaded with explosives blew up Wednesday near a bus carrying members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards in southeastern Iran, killing 11 of them and wounding 31. An al-Qaida-linked Sunni militant group reportedly claimed responsibility.
The semiofficial news agency Fars reported that the militant group Jundallah, or God's Brigade, issued a statement saying it carried out the blast. But officials did not confirm the claim, blaming "insurgents and drug-traffickers."
The bombing was the worst attack in years in the lawless corner of Iran near the Pakistan border, where drug gangs and militants have carried out past attacks.
Jundallah, or God's Brigade, has been blamed for previous attacks on Iranian troops in the area. The group, which accuses Shiite-led Iran of discriminating against Sunni Muslim minorities in the southeastern region, also operates in Pakistan, where authorities have accused it of links to al-Qaida.
