One of the most ruthless assassinations is to murder somebody when he/she is eating iftar or suhoor on Ramadan, the month of fasting. Six of the terror martyrs of Qazvin have been martyred in this way (while they were eating suhoor) one of them was Hossein Hajizadeh.

While eating suhoor on June 16, 1961, Hajizadeh and five of his colleagues at a textile factory in Takestan, Qazvin who neither had a governmental post nor political affiliations were brutally shot to death by a Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) operative who had been infiltrated into them.

The assassin had been identified and when he found himself without any opportunity to escape, he fired a bullet into his own head.
