The chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps has charged that the mastermind behind Sunday's suicide bombing that left six top commanders dead is in Pakistan.

He demanded that Pakistan hand over Abdolmalek Rigi, the leader of the rebel group Jundullah, which claimed responsibility. He also accused US, British and Pakistani intelligence agencies of supporting the Sunni militants.

Sunday's suicide bombing near the Pakistani border killed six senior commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and at least 36 others.

General Mohammad Ali Jafari said the attack was "undoubtedly" planned and ordered by the intelligence services of the United States, Britain and Pakistan. He added that a delegation will soon travel to Pakistan to present evidence.
