TEHRAN – Police Chief Brigadier General Hossein Ashtari said his forces are vigilant in the aftermath of the Chabahar terrorist attack and have managed to foil similar threats.

Ashtari said the person who carried out the Chabahar attack failed to enter the police station because of the vigilance and bravery shown by police forces, Mehr reported.

On Thursday, a vehicle laden with explosives went off close to a police headquarters in Chabahar, a port city in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.

The terrorist behind the wheel was seeking to force his way into the police post, but failed to do so as local security forces quickly intervened.
