The Mujahedeen-e Khalq terrorist group has claimed responsibility for destroying a garrison and killing of 15 members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Baneh, a city and capital of Baneh County, Kurdistan Province, in 1983.
According to Habilian Association database (Specialized Center of Research on the MKO's Crimes), the MKO terrorist group has made the confession in a news published in No. 146 of the Journal of Mujahid, the group’s main press organ during early years of the 80s.
According to the confession, on March 31, 1983, some operational units of the MKO along with a KDP’s Peshmerga unit invade a garrison in Baneh, Kurdistan Province, and destroy it. The news stated that as a result of that attack, 15 members of Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed.
Invading outposts, were among the common techniques of terror practiced by terrorist groups especially the MKO during the early years of the 80s throughout Iranian Western provinces. There, the MKO in coalition with local terrorist groups and using mercenary units known as Peshmerga, was attempting to sabotage and terrorist operations.
