Iran: “Khalq Mojahedin terrorst arrested in Albania”

General Saeed Montazer-al-Mahdi explained for the “Tasnim” news agency that the woman was arrested for extradition. She is accused of being involved with a bomb that blew up at the Headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, in 1981.

72 Iranian officers were killed in this attack, including then Head of Supreme Judicial Council Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, four Minister of the cabinet, 27 Parliament members and some other officials.

MKO, once listed as a terror organization by several countries, left Iran in 1986 and moved to Iraq, in a camp given by dictator Sadam Hussein.

In the Islamic Republic, this organization is remembered for fighting side by side with Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, and is held responsible for the death of thousands of Iranian civilians and officials after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, crimes allegedly carried out through terror acts that included bombs in public places and executions.
