Intelligence Ministry fabricated report on return of 500 Iranians

According to reports from inside Iran, the bogus news on September 3 about the return of 500 Iranian refugees, including 51 affiliated with the Mojahedin and other political groups, was dictated upon Khatami's order by the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry.

The Intelligence Ministry issued this absolutely false report to the news agencies through Nasser Seradj, head of the legal office at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport.

The 51 persons the regime claimed were from the Mojahedin and other political groups, actually returned to Iran on August 28. All of them were workers who had gone to Kuwait in search of jobs and returned home on a flight from that country after their work and residence permits had expired. None of them were affiliated with any political groups.

Such ridiculous prevarications are merely a desperate reaction to the successes and victories of the Mojahedin and Iranian Resistance, particularly the 294 operations by the Mojahedin in Iran during the first seven months of 1997 which was supported enthusiastically by the people in various parts of Iran.
