- Car bomb explodes near Mojahedin's central office in Baghdad
- NCR President calls on U.N. Security Council to urgently consider mullahs' terrorist record

At 11:20 pm Sunday, November 26, a taxi, (Volkswagen Passat, license plate number 26438-Baghdad) parked near the central office of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran in central Baghdad around the Andalus square, blew up. The terribly loud blast caused some damage to the surrounding buildings. Fortunately, this criminal terrorist attack caused no casualties.

Shortly after the explosion, Mr. Massoud Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, sent a telegram to the United Nations Secretary General and the Security Council, calling on them to urgently address the crimes of the religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran. He stressed that in the face of the Iranian people's increasing discontent and protests and the impressive advances of the Iranian Resistance at home and abroad, the mullahs have found the only recourse in suppression, terror and export of terrorism beyond Iran's borders.

The tremendous reception accorded to the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, during her recent visit to Norway simultaneous with the cancellation of trips by four ministers and senior officials of the clerical regime to Germany, The Netherlands and France, reflects the growing international support for the Iranian Resistance within and without Iran and utter isolation and rejection of the illegitimate mullahs' regime in the international arena, noted Mr. Rajavi.

In his telegram to the U.N. Secretary General and members of the Security Council, the NCR President emphasized: The time has come to address the clerical regime's atrocities and institute international punishments on the terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran. This regime has employed the most severe and medieval repression against the entire population inside Iran. It has so far been condemned 35 times by different organs of the United Nations for flagrant violations of human rights, dispatched its terrorist agents abroad to assassinate its opponents and issued fatwa for the death of an author in a foreign country and sets reward for his head. The clerical regime is involved in bombings, explosions and slaughter of innocent civilians in different countries throughout the world. It is the main threat to peace and tranquillity in the Middle East and such crimes as today's are its recognized modus operandi.

Recalling the launching of three banned Scud-B missiles against a base of the Mojahedin on November 6, 1994, the assassination of five members of the Mojahedin, including two women officials of the organization, and the attack last summer by the Khomeini regime's Guards against the Mojahedin deep inside Iraqi territory with 107mm rockets, Mr. Rajavi added: This was the mullahs' 36th terrorist attack against the Mojahedin on Iraqi territory during the past three years. It reflects the clerics' unbridled terrorist hysteria against the only nationalist and democratic alternative to them.

The NCR President and Commander in Chief of the National Liberation Army of Iran added: The Iranian Resistance reserves its unalienable right to respond to, and defend itself against the unrelenting crime of the mullahs. The clerics, their Pasdaran (Guards Corps), diplomat-terrorists and dispatched terrorists should rest assured that they will ultimately pay for their enormous atrocities and be held accountable for the very last drop of blood they have so unscrupulously shed.

The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran holds the Khomeini regime's diplomat-terrorist in Baghdad, most of whom are agents of the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry and SAVAK, as being responsible for planning and carrying out today's explosion in Baghdad. It calls on the Iraqi government and responsible officials to immediately pursue this flagrant crime, search for, prosecute and punish the terrorists and close down the mullahs' nest of terror and espionage in the Iraqi capital.

It is worthy of note that in its September 22 statement, copies of which were forwarded to competent international officials and bodies, the Mojahedin office in Baghdad had warned that the Khomeini regime is preparing the stage for new terrorist attacks against the Mojahedin on Iraqi soil and that, to this end, the Pasdaran had transferred large amounts of weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi Kurdistan to be used with the help local mercenaries in terrorist assaults against the Mojahedin deep inside Iraqi territory.
