An army command public relations department statement Thursday said the
Army's land and air forces would engage in wide-scale maneuvers soon in the
tow governorates to display and sharpen their combat capabilities.
The statement, which was picked up by semi-official Fars News Agency said

and Kurdish groups opposed to the Iranian government.(end)
