An armed clash in the southeastern Iranian province of Kerman has left a police officer and six members of an armed group killed.
Colonel Amin Ghafouri, the spokesman of the Police Headquarters of Kerman Province, told Tasnim News Agency that a police officer, identified as Colonel Ali Barzegar, was killed in the clash that erupted on Monday evening.
He said a funeral ceremony will be held in Kerman on Tuesday.
The province witnesses occasional skirmishes between law enforcement forces and drug traffickers, who smuggle drug consignments from neighboring Afghanistan.
Pakistan-based armed bandits are also another scourge for the police forces in the region.
