A Mojahedin spokesman dismissed the IRNA report as a sheer lie and fabrication, emphasizing that no child was killed or wounded at the Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office. All those killed or wounded in the Mojahedin attack were torturers and interrogators of the clerical regime.
The spokesman added: The mullahs' regime churned out another big lie yesterday when it claimed that an Armenian Iranian was killed at the "Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office." The clerical regime's censorship of news and reports on the Mojahedin's three major operations in Tehran on Tuesday and its own fabrications and prevarication on the subject have been so blatant that even the state-controlled media have complained about it. In the past 48 hours, the state-run radio, television and news agency have put out dozens of conflicting reports and statements on the Tuesday operations in Tehran, including the casualty figures. All these reports are produced and given to the state-run media by the Ministry of Intelligence.
The Mojahedin spokesman said: "By resorting to such lies against the Iranian Resistance, the clerical regime is trying to counter the wave of public delight and joy brought about by the punishment of some of the henchmen and torturers of the mullahs' regime."
