Driving in a taxi, the assailants fled immediately toward the Kurdish region in northern Iraq when the patrol unit returned fire.
This was the seventy-second terrorist operation by the clerical regime against the Iranian Resistance on Iraqi territory since 1993. At least 21 of these terrorist assaults have been carried out during Khatami's presidency.
Unable to confront the activities and military operations of the Mojahedin inside Iran and the growing popular resistance, by engaging in these terrorist attacks, the religious, terrorist dictatorship is trying desperately to cover up its successive defeats at the hands of the Resistance and boost the morale of its disillusioned forces.
The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran calls on the government of Iraq to pursue and punish the terrorists. It also urges the United Nations Secretary General and the Security Council and international human rights organizations to condemn these terrorist crimes.
