The terrorists, who were unable to enter the security perimeter around the Mojahedin office, planted the bombs on the pavement of Javazat Street near Andalus Square. There are five hospitals in this neighborhood and the bomb blasts terrorized the innocent patients. In another terrorist assault in the same area on January 7, 1997, the Tehran regime's terrorist agents fired three 320-mm supermortars which killed or wounded several innocent Iraqi citizens, including a number of patients in these hospitals.
The bombings last night were the 74th terrorist attack on the Iranian Resistance in Iraqi territory since the start of 1993, 23 of them during Khatami's tenure as president. The clerical regime's embassy in Baghdad is known to have been involved in the planning and execution of these terrorist attacks.
Unable to confront the growing Resistance inside Iran, the mullahs' faltering and crisis-ridden regime has found itself in dire need of such desperate terrorist acts. The Tehran regime has instructed its terrorists and agents to "take every possible action" and "deliver any blow to the Mojahedin at any level, with whatever means and weapons available."
The People's Mojahedin of Iran emphasize their legitimate right to respond and self defense and call for the prosecution and punishment of the terrorists by the Iraqi government. They urge the United Nations Security Council to condemn the clerical regime's terrorist crimes.
