Liberation of Kerend

The following centers were captured, cleared of Khomeini's agents, and destroyed during the liberation of Kerend:

• GC headquarters
• Office of Information (Khomeini's SAVAK)
• Basseej headquarters
• Komiteh headquarters
• GC propaganda office
• A spying center known as the Educational Affairs building
• GC engineering unit
• War logistics headquarters
• Propaganda committee
• GC logistics center
• An armored, fully automatic relay station with a communi cations tower on northern Kerend's heights. For several years, the center's main function was to jam Voice of Mojahed broadcasts.

Local residents helped the NLA combatants empty and then blow up the regime's arms and ammunition dumps and depots at various points in the town.

The warm welcome, full support, and active cooperation rendered the NLA by the local population in Kerend was indeed beyond expectation. People from nearby towns and villages, their elders and representatives, kept coming to the NLA HQ in Kerend to express their support. Many spent the night working side by side with the NLA combatants. Some voluntarily patrolled the town, alerting the NLA to possible military threats. The Command HQ thus received essential information as expeditiously as possible.
