Iran, Afghanistan assign joint committee to probe into border incident

The investigation is to be launched in line with a 1956 agreement of Iran-Afghanistan border Commissioners, the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, adding that the probe into the case will continue with full strength until justice is served.   

There were claims that the Afghan immigrants have been tortured and forced into Harirud River by Iranian border guards.
