The Mujahedeen-e Khalq terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the killing of 42 members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Kurdistan, in a 40-day interval of 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. 154 of the Journal of Mujahid, the group’s main press organ during early years of the 80s.
According to the confession, from April 8, 1983 to May 18, 1983, some operational units of MKO named Peshmarge along with agents of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, kill 42 members of IRGC in border areas of Kurdistan. Based on this report, the victims were killed during five different operations involving planting anti-vehicle and anti-personnel mines, anti-vehicle landing operations, ambush operations and an attack on a military base.
From the beginning of its establishment in first days of the revolution, Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution has been responsible for establishing security and fighting with subversive and terrorist groups in the western provinces of Iran. Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) was one of those groups that in coalition with local terrorist groups and using mercenary units known as Peshmerga, was attempting to sabotage and terrorist operations during the early years of the 80s.
