It goes without saying that the mullahs' claims, coming after a 15-day silence and coinciding with the unprecedented escalation of factional infighting ahead of the election farce for the mullahs' sixth Majlis, are clearly a bid to pave the way for air and missile attacks or terrorist raids on Mojahedin's bases and centers in Iraq.
In an interview published in the state-run daily Entekhab on Saturday, Minister of Intelligence Mullah Ali Younessi referred to the succession of terrorist attacks by the mullahs' regime on the Mojahedin in Iraq, which are carried out by the mullahs' mercenaries and terrorists sent across the border. Younessi openly threatened to step up terrorist attacks on the Mojahedin. He said: "The Mojahedin are not feeling secure even at home. The Mojahedin understand very well what I am saying, because the people of Iraq are opposed to them... The Iraqi people have made them completely insecure... If they make any move, they will be hit."
In the past, the Intelligence Ministry has always attributed its own terrorist attacks on the Mojahedin in Iraq to the "Iraqi people." There have been 83 terrorist and military attacks on the Iranian Resistance on Iraqi soil since the beginning of 1993. The latest was on January 16, when terrorists dispatched by the mullahs' regime attacked a National Liberation Army camp with 107-mm rockets.
In another related development yesterday, Revolutionary Guards' Supreme Commander Rahim Safavi shamelessly claimed on the state-run television that Mojahedin's operations inside Iran "are carried out with the help of the Iraqi army intelligence." He brazenly described the Mojahedin as "the military arm" of Iraq.
The coordinated and synchronized campaign by the mullahs' agencies and leading figures reveals that new military and terrorist plots by the ruling clerics against the Iranian Resistance ahead of the Majlis elections are afoot.
In April 1992, only days ahead of the mullahs' Majlis elections, the regime attacked NLA's Camp Ashraf with 13 fighter-bombers. The mullahs' falsely claimed at the time that the air raid was in retaliation for the Mojahedin's alleged attack on border villages.
The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran draws the attention of the UN Secretary General, Mr. Kofi Annan, and members of the Security Council to the preparations for terrorist raids and air or missile attacks on the Mojahedin's bases, which would be in complete violation of international law and conventions, including UNSC resolution 598.
