**Eleven members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards force have been arrested in Pakistan after illegally entering the country, police there say.**They were detained in Mashkel near the Pakistan-Iran border, they added.
It comes eight days after a suicide bomb killed 42 people, among them six Revolutionary Guards, in an attack in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan province.
Iran said a Sunni militant group had launched the attack from Pakistan. Islamabad denied any involvement.
Last week, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on Pakistan to arrest the attackers, believed to belong to a group called Jundallah, or Soldiers of God.
Pakistan condemned the bombing and said it would co-operate in the search for those responsible.
But Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Abdul Basit dismissed Iranian claims that Jundallah’s leader was in Pakistan.
Tehran had previously accused the US of contributing to the attack. The US dismissed the accusation.
