The camp's security guards reacted quickly, forcing the terrorists to flee and leave behind their equipment. None of the NLA combatants was harmed in this attack.
The attack is the 83rd terrorist assault by the mullahs' regime against the Iranian Resistance in Iraq since 1993. 32 of these attacks have been carried out during Khatami's presidency.
Mr. Massoud Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said: With the sham elections for the mullahs' Majlis drawing nearer, and the power struggle within the regime getting more intense, the clerical rulers find themselves increasingly in need of such terrorist attacks, particularly as they have been unable to counter the rise of popular uprisings and Resistance's operations and activities inside Iran.
The Resistance leader reiterated the Resistance's unalienable right to respond and self-defense in the face of the mullahs' terrorist attacks. He urged the United Nations Secretary General and the Security Council to condemn the ruling religious dictatorship's unbridled terrorism and adopt binding decisions on this regime, which has been condemned 45 times by different United Nations bodies for its human rights violations and export of terrorism.
