Jaish ul-Adl (Army of Justice) is a Sunni insurgent group based in Sistan-Baluchestan province of Iran,[5] responsible for several attacks against civilians and military personnel in Iran.[6]
The group was founded in 2012 by members of Jundallah, a Sunni militant group that had been weakened following Iran's capture and execution of its leader, Abdul Malik Rigi, in 2010.[1] Its first major attack occurred in October 2013.[1] Jaish ul-Adl is a designated terrorist organization by Iran.[6]
