Following the defensive Pearl Operation on March 25, a unit of the National Liberation Army of Iran positioned on the Aqdagh-Saghir Heights was attacked by Khomeini's Guards positioned on the heights north of the village of Khalifa-Morad (20 kms north of Khanaqin). Another NLA unit advanced on Khalifa-Morad Village, routing a large number of uniformed Guards in heavily fortified bunkers and killing or wounding at least 100 of them. A large fuel storage warehouse, a depot of Sagger rockets and two large ammunition dumps were completely leveled and destroyed.
In
the course of this operation, the NLA combatants seized a number of the
Guards' ID cards bearing the Guards Corps stamp, as well as weapons and
equipment marked with the Guards Corps emblem. Documents and evidence obtained
from this region indicated the large scope of the mullahs' plan to suppress
the Iranian Resistance.
At 2 pm on March 26, units of the National Liberation Army of Iran in the village of Kolejou (north of Jalula)were attacked by the Khomeini regime's Guards Corps and local agents. The NLA combatants responded with heavy fire and after five hours of fighting, routed the Guards, killing at least 200 as the rest fled. In this clash two Mojahedin combatants were slain and ten wounded, only one of them seriously.
Between March 29 and 31, scattered but intense clashes erupted between NLA combatants and the regime's Guards. Eight Guards were killed and five taken captive. A number of these Guards had deliberately worn the traditional loose local dress over their Guards Corps uniforms and some were carrying "Islamic Jihad" ID cards.
