TEHRAN, Feb. 14 -- A car bomb killed 11 members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard on Wednesday in the deadliest attack in years near the Pakistani border, and Iran accused the United States of backing guerrillas to destabilize the country.
A Sunni Muslim militant group called Jundallah, or God's Brigade, which has been blamed for past attacks on Iranian troops, asserted responsibility for the bombing, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency.
