TEHRAN, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Local police have restored full security in the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan where a second bomb exploded Friday night, the official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.

    Friday's bombing, which caused no casualties, came after another explosion earlier this week in the same city that had killed 11 people.

    "Terrorist agents try to implement their ominous plots without being bothered at all," Zahedan Governor General Hassan-Ali Nouri was quoted by IRNA as saying.

    "The explosion in Zahedan Friday night was just a blind operation," he added.

    Meanwhile, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Friday that Jundallah, a shadowy Sunni militant group, has claimed responsibility for the latest bombing in Zahedan.

    Clashes broke out between police and an armed group after the bomb exploded at about 10:00 p.m. (1830 GMT) on Friday, Fars said.

    Electricity in the area was cut off following the explosion and the clashes, Fars said, adding that all streets leading to the school and nearby residential complex were filled with police. On Wednesday morning, an explosive-laden car exploded in Zahedan as a bus, belonging to ground forces of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, passed by, killing at least 11 people and injuring 31 others.

    Jundallah has also reportedly claimed responsibility for the Wednesday attack. Iran has blamed the group for past killings in the area bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    So far a total of 65 suspects in addition to the three people responsible for the bomb attack have been arrested, IRNA reported on Thursday, quoting Brigadier General Mohammad Gaffari, a senior police officer in Sistan-Baluchestan province.
