QUETTA, Pakistan ? Pakistani authorities have yet to decide what to do with three Iranian border guards detained for allegedly crossing into southwestern Pakistan and killing a man, a government official said Monday.
The incident occurred Sunday in the Mazah Sar area of Baluchistan province, a desolate, unpopulated region where the border is not clearly marked. They allegedly shot and killed one man and wounded another who local authorities said were smugglers.
Aalam Farez, a senior government official in Washuk district, where Mazah Sar is located, said the Iranians have admitted to inadvertently crossing into Pakistan while chasing a vehicle.
They accidentally shot the two men when they fired on the vehicle they were chasing, said Farez. The two men were in another vehicle.
Pakistani border personnel then chased the Iranians back across the border, seized the two men who had been shot and detained the three Iranian guards, Pakistani officials have said.
Farez said he was waiting to hear from Baluchistan's provincial government about what to do with the Iranians.
Iran has not publicly commented on the incident.
