(CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday that only U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq could be behind such bombings as the ones that struck the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan last week, state-run media reported.

"No grouping other than U.S.-backed terrorist groups which are devoid of human feelings can commit such acts," the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

Ahmadinejad's comments were his first public statements on Thursday's suicide bombings that killed at least 27 people and wounded dozens more.

An Iranian extremist group claimed responsibility Friday for the bombings in an announcement on the official website of Jundallah, also known as the People's Resistance Movement of Iran.

Ahmadinejad also said Sunday that he would file a complaint to international bodies over the bombings, IRNA reported.
