In Saravan and Khash, Sistan-e-Baluchestan province, seven people have died of a mysterious disease while 15 others have been quarantined at Zahedan Medical University’s hospital.
The signs of this unknown disease include fever, sore-throat, inflammation in the neck and body pain.
People having similar signs will be immediately quarantined in hospital.
Specialists have not yet diagnosed the disease.
The signs can represent many diseases, but the unknown disease is neither bird flu nor choler, Mohammad Mehdi Gouya, the head of Tehran’s Disease Management Center affiliated to the Health Ministry said.
Iranian authorities said they have brought the Jundallah militant group led by Abdolmalek Rigi under control and disbanded it. Also they claim to have killed Rigi.
In Hamedan Mojtaba Mir-Abdollahi, director general of the Interior Ministry’s Public Relations Office, said that the heads of the main branches of AbdulMalek Rigi's terrorist group were arrested or killed and the group's activity is under full control.
Last year the media also announced the dead of Rigi and disband of Jundallah, lateron this appeared to be not true.
