Mullahs' terrorists attack NLA's Homayoun Camp with 107mm rockets

At 11:30 pm (local time) last night, terrorists dispatched by the clerical regime launched an attack with 107mm rockets on the National Liberation Army's Homayoun Camp in the southern suburb of the Iraqi city of Al-Amarah. None of the NLA fighters was harmed in the attack, the third assault on this camp in the past six months.

The assault was the clerical regime's seventy-seventh military and terrorist attack against the Iranian Resistance in Iraqi territory since the beginning of 1993. Of these criminal attacks, 26 have been carried out during Khatami's tenure as president.

According to an IRNA report, Deputy Intelligence Minister Mullah Shafii tacitly claimed responsibility on August 28 for the terrorist attacks. Referring to the Mojahedin's activities inside Iran, Shafii said: "When the recent events took place... intelligence tools were used" and "we responded to the Mojahedin somewhere else... They know very well that the intelligence apparatus will retaliate against any action by these grouplets."

Shafii was clearly referring to the car bomb attack on a Mojahedin civilian bus in Baghdad on June 9, which left behind six Mojahedin members dead and 21 others injured.

Recalling the previous terrorist and rocket attacks on Homayoun Camp on March 10 and May 26, 1999, Iranian Resistance Leader Massoud Rajavi emphasized the legitimate right of the Resistance to respond and self defense. He called for the prosecution and punishment of the terrorists by the Iraqi government. He also urged the United Nations Security Council to condemn the clerical regime's terrorist crimes, adding that the claiming of responsibility for these heinous crimes by the most senior authorities in Tehran makes it doubly necessary that there be a firm international response and position against these atrocities.
