Jundallah, or Jondollah (, lit. "Soldiers of God"), also known as People's Resistance Movement of Iran (PRMI), *〔(not to be confused with People's Mujahedin of Iran)〕 is a terrorist militant organization based in Balochistan, an unstable province in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, that claim to be fighting for "Equal rights of Sunni Muslims in Iran".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=YouTube )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran Offers Short-Term Solutions To Long-Term Problems Of Baluch Minority )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jundallah: Iran's Sunni rebels )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trouble brewing in Iranian Balochistan )〕〔〔 It was allegedly founded by Abdolmalek Rigi, who was captured and executed in Iran in 2010.〔 It is believed to have between 700〔 to 2,000 fighters〔 and is said to be responsible for killing 154 and injuring 320 Iranian citizens since 2003,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran Executes Insurgent Leader, Accused of Ties With American Intelligence )〕 while Jundullah commanders claim the group has killed up to 400 Iranian soldiers. The group has been designated a terrorist organization by Iran, New Zealand and the United States and it has been linked to, and taken credit for numerous acts of terror, kidnapping and the smuggling of narcotics. According to many sources, the group is linked to al-Qaeda.〔() 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Free Article for Non-Subscriber )〕〔()〕 Iran has been critical of the U.S. and U.K. governments for allegedly supporting Jundallah. Several other sources such as the ''ABC News'', ''The New York Times'', ''Daily Telegraph'', and journalist Seymour Hersh have also reported that Jundullah has received support from the United States against Iran. ==Background== Jundallah is thought to have begun in 2003 and it is known for attacks against high-profile Iranian targets, both military and civilian. Its origin and structure remain murky. It has been suggested that it might be an offshoot of Baluchi Autonomist Movement, which was created and supported by Saddam Hussein along with other militant groups like Mujahideen-e Khalq, to wage a proxy war on Iran during the Iran-Iraq war.〔''Political Terrorism: A New Guide to Actors, Authors, Concepts, Data Bases'' By Alex Peter Schmid, Albert J. Jongman, pp. 582–584〕 There appears to be at least another militant organization with the name of Jundallah operating independently in Pakistan.〔 Iran accuses the United States and other foreign elements of backing Jundallah, possibly from Pakistani territory with Islamabad's support, despite Pakistan's apparent history of cooperation with Iran to suppress trans-border militants, whereas Jundallah denies any connections to al-Qaeda or the Taliban, as well as foreign governments such as the United States and Great Britain. The United States also denies any support or involvement with this group. In an October 17, 2008 interview aired on Al-Arabiya TV, its leader Abdolmalek Rigi stated the group had given "over 2,000 men" military, political and ideological training but that the number of its members "in the mountains does not exceed 200."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clip Transcript )〕 It has also been alleged that Jundallah is involved in smuggling Iranian diesel fuel to Afghanistan and Pakistan, the price of which is more than five times cheaper than the diesel fuel in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The diesel fuel is then bartered with opium, which is smuggled into Iran from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be sold in Iran. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jundallah (Iran)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
