After 14 hour-delay, mullahs' regime takes responsibility for air strike at NLA basecamps

After a 14-hour delay, in a distorted report broadcast on the state radio and television, the mullahs took responsibility for their Air Force's strike at the basecamps of the National Liberation Army of Iran. The regime was thus forced to acknowledge the expansion of the Resistance's activities inside Iran.

Describing its acts of aggression yesterday as "retaliatory", the mullahs' regime displayed its fear of the international reaction to its criminal transgressions. This outlaw behavior, also a flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 598, is contrary to all recognized international principles.

While the mullahs' regime has become continuously weaker and chaotic over the past year, the growth of public support for the Mojahedin and Iranian Resistance and the tide of youths joining the National Liberation Army have terrified the regime. The Mojahedin forces dealt heavy blows to the mullahs' Guards and Intelligence Ministry agents in 294 operations inside Iran in the first seven months of 1997.

In the wake of the bombing raids yesterday on two NLA basecamps, the Mojahedin's Secretary General Ms. Mahvash Sepehri declared: The mullahs' criminal actions will not go unanswered and the regime must await receiving crushing blows from the Mojahedin in Iran.
