The Iranians reached Mazan Sar Mashkail, in Washuk district, three kilometres (1.8miles) inside Pakistan where they opened fire on a vehicle they were chasing, according to officials in Balochistan.
"All three personnel of Iranian border security force were taken into custody for their penetration inside Pakistan and killing a Pakistani national on our soil", Saeed Ahmad Jamali, Deputy Commissioner of Washuk district told AFP.
A Pakistani national was killed and his brother was wounded by gunshots in the incident, he added.
Mazan Sar Mashkail is around 600 kilometres southwest of Quetta, the main town of insurgency hit Baluchistan province, which borders Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province.
Iranian embassy officials in Islamabad were unavailable for comment late Sunday but Iran in the past has blamed a Sunni extremist group, called Jundallah, for launching attacks inside Pakistan from Sistan-Balochistan.
Jundallah says it is fighting Tehran's Shiite rule to secure rights for Sunni Balochis who form a significant population in Sistan-Balochistan, which borders both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Pakistani officials said the Iranian guards were trying to take both Pakistani nationals back into Iran.
"Both Pakistanis were injured and one was later died. Pakistani troops at the border surrounded the Iranians and have taken them into custody", Jamali added.
"We have contacted our senior officials about the fate of these Iranian, Jamali said.
A Pakistan security official in Quetta confirmed the incident with request of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to media.

Iranians have all the rights to kill terrorists that kills innocent people's, even inside Pakistan as the " USA" has every right !! And after they were JUNDALLAH,s, who massacre 18 innocent PAKISTANIS IN PAKISTAN TODAY......
I dont think that PAKISTAN would ever grow up from the bad situation where it is:((
but i also do hope lill bit that someday it will again "THE PAKISTAN" ,,the place for muslims and humans not for cattles
iranians should punished for this bad and illegal deeds....
You gave us the news, now tell us the story. Why were these brothers shot at? What were they doing or running from? Guards dont go crazy for nothing and start shooting unless they are Israeli.
I have always maintained that Iranians are not our friends. Have they ever supported us in any conflict with the evil in the east? We should side the Americans and the west against Iran.
@American Desi: @Ali Wali:
Well, you have come down to this, so let it be so. You are a free thinker? Really, that's why you could only come up with an argument where you could present a better picture of Iran? 25%? correcting my statistics? Isn't that attitude scary now?e do I get my statitics? Well, let's say facebook.. my 90% of friends of that sect have photo of Irani flag or Ahmedinijad at least once a month, and 99% have an Iran related picture at least once. However, most of them never have any Pakistani flag somewhere in there profile. West accused Catholics? ooh aaahh... What has that to do here? Just ask any of your friends from the neck of rotten wood, if Iran attacks Pakistan {of coarse a joke} who will they support. You will see the problem..! PNS Mehran attacket and etc also have their identities screwed up as Pakistani-10%. It doesn't matter which sect they belong to, what matters is some Pakistanis don't belong to Pakistan... Why? We must accept the problem, and think about solution. you don't need to be aggressive, we can solve it calmly! Hope you learn to be a real free thinker, and don't sweat steam on the denial of a real issue! Pakistan Zindabad!
I guess pakistan will now demand an apologie from iran president, and if not, then pakistan will shut down the supply lines of irans blackmarket nuclear purchases. Or they will not do a thing, which is more likely, just shows why your nation is thought of as a zoo of malcontents instead of a real nation. Your Hypocracy is showing to the world.
@Waqas:
Your assumption that US would want to save you is probably flawed.
@R S JOHAR: "Pakistan’s confrontation with India is understandable but not between the two Islamic republics." And, what was Iraq-Iran war? A love-fest between Islamic brothers? Ten million Muslims butchered each other for 10 years until all young had been slain. Next ,old men and children were sent in with nothing but bandanas wrapped around their heads and songs of victory on their lips - from both sides. Finally, both fell back simply out of exhaustion. Both celebrated a buoyant stand-off.
Iranians should not dare violate Pakistani territory. This right and privilege is only reserved for OBL, his harem and all his terrorist goons. We are furious when any other violates our holy land.
This incident shows the explosiveness of the sectarian conflicts in the region. The relationship between Pakistan and Iran got frayed during the uprisings in Bahrain last year. Thousands of retired security officers from Pakistan were recruited by the Sunni goernment in Bahrain to quell the protests, led by the Shia populace.
leave them NOW
@asif: calm down , look how immature some of the indians pretending to be pakistanis are on this page it was not a cross border attack, it was over enthusiastic local iranain guards . Things like this happen all the time, no big deal Prosecute the Guards simple Pakistan and Iran remain friends and Iran is a good ally which supported Pakistan through out its tensions with USA and helped during floods
Pakistan is now europe! every foreigner can easily enter without any restrictions along with the facility of hunting people free of cost!!!
We deserve that
@Pakistani, Sir I am sure it will makes you happy, you probably need to update your statistics, it is probably 25%, and in my neck of the woods 100%.I suggest you keep your threat of sectarianism for weak minds, such tactics never kept free thinkers from saying their mind. Thanks but no thanks for your misplaced concern,with assurance that my living standard is first class, enviable I will say.
@Ali Wali: For some reasons, at least 1/10th of pakistanis like you, are more loyal to Iran than Pakistan. That's too bad, and we wonder why sectarian conflicts. We should learn to have our identities straight, first! Get a life!
@j. von hettlingen: Sir Bahrain government is recruiting Shia young guys from Pakistan as well, surprised!
@Aslam: I heard thousands of Pakistanis cross into Iran every day, and Iranians guards do not kill them, just wondering why they chased two out of probably thousands!! Let me guess, O yeah Iranian guards killed innocent Pakistanis, though the same Baluch will never call themselves Pakistani at first place. Most Baluch are dual Iranian Pakistani citizens if you knew that!
@j. von hettlingen: and you in USA are observing all this and wanted these tension to grow up so you can come up and save us again. Thank you we don't need your help.
@Siddeqi: who told you that they have killed 1000 of iranin citizen, where you get the staticsits from? any soure? any news link? what kind of immature mind you have.
on the contrary, pakistan condition are worst because of people like you fleeing from afghanistan and iran.
and where has iran supported us? ok name me any three of these incidents?
@frank: and you are the only mature guy talking all the logics out here, kid, grow up.
@ ghazanfar: You are right. Jundullah uses pakistani land for terrorist activities in iran. they have killed hundreds of irani citizens and army men. So its might possible that guards chased these people and shot to death. On a single incident we should not be so emotional. our borders from 2 sides are already shaky. iran has supported us a lot and is ready to do a lot.

I have read about this news on dawn it says the brothers were smugglers didnt mention what were they smuggling ..most probability is drugs.
Pakistan's confrontation with India is understandable but not between the two Islamic republics.
@Ali Wali: really, you have all the 'sensitive' information, would you please explain your side of story?
@Ghazanfar: oh really, Mr Iranian Guy. Who has give you the rights to chase anyone inside the border of another country. and who has leaked you this sensitive information that those guyz were being chased from within iran border?
is this information avaiable some where on google or internet we can search? get a life and grow up kid.
tit for tat...Pakistani fishermen were killed by Iranians when they mistakenly entered Iranian boundaries....at least make an example so Iran would know that they also should show restrain.
Ramin
truth
etc etc
Some of you people are so immature and childish.
@Saleem Bux Baloch: ok, so the justice should be done on the border and the road and may we ask who told you that those two guys were terriorists, Surenly some angel came to tell you that?
Grow up kid,
@Maria: "Time for Pakistan to seal the border from criminal elements coming from both Afghanistan and Iran. If the US can build a fence along its border with Mexico, why can’t Pakistan do the same?"
Iran recently opened its border with Pakistan after keeping it closed for 3 months. They don't like our strategic exports just like everyone else.
It seems Iranian guards were chasing the guys from their side of the border into Pakistan, it means those guys were not well meaning, if they were then they would have used legal border crossing, or not! Pakistan should close all legal crossing into Iran, as they are of no use.
To all those people who are bashing Iran should try to ponder why the chased a car into Pakistan. Was there an insurgency from Pakistan into Iran first? If yes then our incompetent government should thank the Iranian guards. They are doing what our government should have done long ago.
Looks like Gen Pasha's visit to Qatar is bearing fruit for the Americans. More cooperation from the Pakistani forces has already started against the enemies of USA. When is the pipeline from Iran going to be cancelled?
There were terrorists of Jindullah, Saeed Rigi has been killed by Irani forces in cross border shooting, while Islam Rigi injured.
Where are the sovereignty tirades?
Hold them till Iran stops Gas supply!!!!
Release them. Iran is our dost.
I thought these were you new best friends?
And we thought that Iranians were our law-abiding friends !!!
so after US, Afghanistan, Iran who else is left to attack our so called 'soverinty',
The Iranians will be released with full honor ..ASAP!!!!
All neighbors envy Pasistan's strategic assets!!!!
good work.Iranians in the past had intruded into Pakistani territory and kidnapped officials.Iranians killed 3 Pakistani fishermen who mistakenly went into Iranian sea terrotory.They have been pretty aggressive.we must limit them.
Hope these Iranians have valid Pakistani Visas issued by.....
Time for Pakistan to seal the border from criminal elements coming from both Afghanistan and Iran. If the US can build a fence along its border with Mexico, why can't Pakistan do the same?
Held them and give proper punishment.
oh my god, what else, now even iran have the courage to come to our country and shot us. what is left now? bangledesh, afghanistan entering paksitan and shoting at poor pakitanis like goats?
these murderes ir-respective of their nationality need to be sentenced to death, Supreme Court please take suo moto action of this? or you are too busy discussing non related issues?
Put them on trial and hang them!
