Jundallah, or Jondollah (, lit. "Soldiers of God"), also known as People's Resistance Movement of Iran (PRMI), is a terrorist militant organization based in Balochistan, an unstable province in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, that claim to be fighting for "Equal rights of Sunni Muslims in Iran".
It was allegedly founded by Abdolmalek Rigi, who was captured and executed in Iran in 2010. It is believed to have between 700 to 2,000 fighters and is said to be responsible for killing 154 and injuring 320 Iranian citizens since 2003, while Jundullah commanders claim the group has killed up to 400 Iranian soldiers.
The group has been designated a terrorist organization by Iran, New Zealand and the United States and it has been linked to, and taken credit for numerous acts of terror, kidnapping and the smuggling of narcotics. According to many sources, the group is linked to al-Qaeda.
Iran has been critical of the U.S. and U.K. governments for allegedly supporting Jundallah. Several other sources such as the ABC News, The New York Times, Daily Telegraph, and journalist Seymour Hersh have also reported that Jundullah has received support from the United States against Iran.
