TEHRAN, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- Iran Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have dismantled a terrorist group in Iran's northwest province of West Azarbaijan, semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Sunday.

In the operation, two terrorists were killed and four others were injured, Pakpoor said without detailing on the time of operations.

The IRGC confiscated amounts of military hardware and ammunition from the militants, the report said.
