Mullahs prepare for further terrorist crimes

Agence France Presse reported that "an official of the Intelligence Ministry" of the mullahs' regime claimed that the Mojahedin have "resumed indiscriminate assassinations and planting bombs in public places" and are sending "death squads" from Iraq to Ir an.

A Mojahedin spokesman described the claims of the mullahs' SAVAK as deliriums of a regime in the throes of death. The clerics are thus preparing the grounds for further terrorist attacks against the Mojahedin and National Liberation Army in Iraq, and even more extensive arrests and executions in Iran. The regime's officials are terribly upset about the failure of their savage attack with 320mm mortars against the Mojahedin's central office in Baghdad and its ensuing public scandal.

The mullahs' religious, terrorist dictatorship also launched a major disinformation campaign last week, claimed having arrested and killed several groups of infiltrating Mojahedin. The propaganda aimed to prepare the grounds for the mortar attack on Janua ry 8, against the Mojahedin's central office in Baghdad. The Mojahedin's office on Jan. 3 and their Command HQ in Iran on Jan. 6 and 7 had already warned against the terrorist objectives of the clerical regime.

Shaken by the heroic four-day long uprising of the people of Kermanshah and widespread unrest and protests in western Iran where people clashed with the regime's Gurads on the eve of Rafsanjani's visit to Ilam, the mullahs' are terrifed at the specter of these protests plaguing the country and the Iranian people's overwhelming support for the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, Maryam Rajavi. Therefore they find the only remedy in retaliating against the Mojahedin.

The Mojahedin spokeman described the mullahs' ridiculaous lies about the "Mojahedin's undertaking of the security of Baghdad" as absurd claims of a faltering regime which is terrified of the prowess of the democratic alternative. The regime claims on the one hand that the Mojahedin are annihilated, on the other hand it accuses them of instigating urban riots, bombing and terrorism in various cities of Iran and of guarding the security of Baghdad. The regime's officials and newspapers are at the same time begging the Hezbollah to inform them of any movements of the Mojahedin.

The Mojahedin spokesman added: As the Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi emphasized, neither their desperate attempts, nor their anti-human atrocities can cure any of the problems of the mullahs ruling Iran. The journey of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi to the frontiers of her homeland, has tolled the bells for the overthrow of the regime and the mullahs' cannot escape their inevitable downfall. The voice of the peoples of Kermanshah, Ilam and Khuzistan, and the voice of the nationwide resistance and the Naiton al Liberation Army will not be silenced by such cowardly attempts.
