"I am ordering the relevant officials to identify quickly the elements behind this terrorist crime and hand them over to the judiciary," the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

"I assure the Iranian people, especially the dear people of Sistan-Baluchestan, that the criminals will receive very soon a response to their inhuman acts."

At least 30 people, including seven commanders of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a meeting of the Guards in the city of Pisheen in Sistan-Baluchestan.
