The rockets missed their target and there were no injuries or material damages.
At the site where the rockets were fired, the equipment left over from the terrorists included sacks carrying extra charges to fire the rockets and sacks carrying the sign "Iran Business Services Expansion Company Ltd.," which belongs to the Iranian regime's Intelligence Ministry.
Unable to confront the growing Resistance nationwide, the mullahs' faltering and crisis-ridden regime has found itself in dire need of such desperate terrorist acts as never before. This is particularly the case as efforts by Khatami and his Foreign Ministry to induce condemnation of the Mojahedin on the international level have miserably failed.
In an interview with the state television on May 24, Maj. Gen. Rahim Safavi, the Revolutionary Guards Corps' Commander in Chief, said: "Although they boast of democracy,... Western countries and the U.S. did not react seriously to the Mojahedin. If these countries are interested in having good relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran... they must stop supporting and backing this group."
In light of the many blows they have received from the Resistance in Iran, the criminal mullahs have instructed their terrorists and mercenaries to "take any action" and "deliver any blow, they can, at any level, with whatever means and weapons."
This morning's rocket attack was the clerical regime's seventy-third terrorist attack against the Iranian Resistance in Iraqi territory since the start of 1993, twenty-two during Khatami's tenure as president.
Underlining their legitimate right to respond and self defense, the People's Mojahedin of Iran call for the pursuit and punishment of the terrorists by Iraqi officials. They also urge the United Nations Security Council to condemn the clerical regime's terrorist crimes.
