"Some of those pilgrims used to be Revolutionary Guards members, some of them are retired servicemen," the minister said.
A total of 48 Iranian pilgrims who were traveling on a bus from the Damascus International Airport were abducted by armed insurgents on Sunday.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian "strongly" denied on Monday that the captured Iranians were members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
On Wednesday, Salehi requested the United Nations to assist in freeing the Iranians, saying that three of them had already been killed.
