Huge explosion rocks Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Tehran

The Mojahedin Command Headquarters inside Iran reported that today, about 2:00 p.m. local time, the headquarters of the Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in downtown Tehran was destroyed in a huge explosion by military units of the People's Mojahedin. Scores of torturers and interrogators were killed or wounded and the building was demolished.

The Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Tehran is the headquarters of the clerical regime's most criminal interrogators and torturers who in the last 17 years have savagely tortured and sent before firing squads tens of thousands of political prisoners in Evin, Gohardasht and Qezel-Hessar prisons and in the regime's "safe houses."

The operation was in retaliation for the slaying of Mojahedin member Hadi Homayoun and seven other Mojahedin in Ilam (western Iran), on November 2 by agents of the Intelligence Ministry and the Prosecutor's Office.

Ambulance sirens could be heard in the area for several hours after the explosion. Subsequently, the Guards Corps, the Intelligence Ministry agents and State Security Forces sealed off nearby streets and began to search passers by and vehicles. The Mojahedin's operational units, however, left the area safely long before that.

The operation was carried out on the eve of June 20th, the day of Iranian martyrs and political prisoners and the anniversary of Khomeini's death.
