Clerical regime's terrorist crime west of Baghdad
Truck-bomb kills four Iraqi civilians, wounds a number of others

Quoting "informed sources," the clerical regime's official news agency, IRNA, reported on April 4 that "a giant explosion occurred at the main headquarters of the Mojahideen Khalq Organization (MKO) west of Baghdad early Thursday night, March 18, 1999."

"MKO must have suffered heavy casualties and losses because many ambulances and police as well as security agents were seen rushing to the site of explosion till midnight," IRNA added.

Contrary to the clerical regime's claims, such an explosion did not occur in any of the Mojahedin bases. The central office of the Mojahedin in Baghdad, therefore, informs the public of the results of its investigation into the details of this criminal bombing. The mullahs' Intelligence Ministry has clearly accepted responsibility for this terrorist crime by announcing that the explosion was carried out against the Mojahedin:
At 19:50 local time, Thursday March 18, a huge explosion rocked the Haswah area, West of Baghdad, a few kilometers from the Mojahedin's Badizadegan military camp. As a result of the explosion, four Iraqi civilians were slain and a greater number of innocent residents, including women and children, were injured. Vehicles and buildings nearby were heavily damaged.

The photographs of dismembered bodies and of demolished vehicles of those driving by reflect the extent of the savagery and ruthlessness of the clerical regime and its new Intelligence Minister, Mullah Ali Younessi.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the eight-ton truck used in the attack was an orange-colored Hino truck, which the mullahs' agents had driven through the Iran-Iraq border on the eve of Nowrouz and parked it on a busy highway.

This is the reality about the Intelligence Ministry's claim of a "giant explosion" at a "Mojahedin headquarters."

The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran calls on the United Nations Secretary General, the Security Council and international human rights bodies to condemn this hideous inhuman crime.
