Abdol-Malek Mollahzadeh, 45, born in Zahedan, and Abdol-Nasser Jamshid-Zehi, 25, from the city of Khash in Iranian Baluchistan, were shot dead by four agents of the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry in the Liari district near the Civil hospital. A Pakistani woman passing by was also wounded and is currently hospitalized.
The terrorists immediately fled the scene in a getaway car. A team of the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry agents has been stationed in Pakistan since several weeks ago.
Mr. Mollahzadeh, son of the late Mowlavi Abdol-Aziz (a renowned clergyman in Baluchistan), was arrested and imprisoned for some time in 1982 for protesting the regime's suppressive policies. About to be arrested again, he went to Pakistan in 1990. The same year, the regime's terrorists wounded his brother, Ali-Akbar, in an assassination attempt in Karachi.
This is the clerics' second terrorist assault against Sunni clergymen in one month. On February 16, Dr. Ahmad Sayyad, a Baluchi clergyman from the city of Chah-Bahar in Baluchistan province, imprisoned and then sentenced to five years in internal exile in the northwestern city of Ardabil for exposing the suppression of the Sunni minority, was assassinated by Intelligence Ministry agents only a few days prior to the end of his exile.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran strongly condemns the murder of these Sunni clergymen and calls on the government of Pakistan to arrest and punish the Khomeini regime's terrorists. It further demands that Pakistan close down the regime's diplomatic missions and not allow the criminal mullahs to go on terrorist rampage in that country.
The Khomeini regime has taken maximum advantage of the world community's silence and inaction. Thus, the NCR urges the United Nations Secretary General and international human rights bodies to condemn the mullahs' brutal crimes and adopt binding decisions against them.
Experience has demonstrated that the policy of appeasement, dialogue and economic ties under whatever pretext with the mullahs' religious, terrorist dictatorship is doomed to failure. The time has come for a definite reconsideration of such policies which sacrifice human rights before petty economic interests. The Khomeini regime is on its way out. Any economic and political investment in this sinister regime is futile and will bring its international interlocutors nothing but loss and shame.
