TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of Iran's Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani urged the international bodies and communities to find a way to eradicate terrorism in the world.

"Carrying out suicide attacks to kill innocent people sounds alarm and the international communities need to find a solution for it," Hashemi Rafsanjani said on Saturday, referring to the Thursday twin attacks in Zahedan city in southeastern Iran which took 27 lives.

"The incident is a perilous catastrophe in a region in which so many Shiites and Sunnis are living together peacefully, but there is negative propaganda in neighboring countries that cannot be ignored," he added.

"Terrorists, mercenaries and occupiers will no more achieve their goals by killing and bloodshed and such actions will finally lead to their collapse," Hashemi Rafsanjani said, noting, "Carrying out suicide attacks to kill innocent people sounds alarm and the international communities need to find a solution for it."

Earlier on Saturday, a senior Iranian lawmaker told FNA that Jundollah terrorist group, whose ringleader was arrested and executed a few months ago, is most likely responsible for the Thursday blasts in Zahedan.
