"Two armed bandits from a group of six were killed in clashes in highland areas of Piranshahr two days ago," provincial police spokesman Shahnam Rezaei was quoted as saying, adding that another three were wounded.?
He said the militants were planning "sabotage" activities in Iran, without giving details on their identity.
"Our border patrols have confronted these bandits and terrorists and forced them to flee to the other side of the border many times during this year," he added.
Turkey and Iran have been long fighting against the terrorist movements operated by both the outlawed PKK and the PEJAK, the PKK’s breakaway faction in Iran.
