The Mujahedeen e-Khalq terrorist group has accepted responsibility for the assassination of 150 Iranian people between December 1982 and January 1983 in Kurdistan province, Iran.

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. 137 of the Journal of Mujahid, the group’s main press organ during early years of the 80s.

According to this news, these victims were assassinated during a series of terrorist attacks to four Iranian border posts in Kurdistan province between December 1982 and January 1983. Based on this news that the MKO’s publication has issued as a Report of Operations, these attacks were conducted by MKO’s Peshmerga groups during the second period of the so called ‘Armed Phase of Resistance’. The news adds that during these attacks, in addition to the 150 killed, 110 others were seriously wounded.

Invading outposts, were among the common techniques of terror practiced by MKO’s Peshmerga groups during the early years of the 80s throughout Iranian Western provinces. MKO’s Peshmerga groups were formed after declaration of the so called Armed Phase of Resistance by the MKO, and its move to the Western provinces of Iran. The groups were included some indigenous peoples and Iraqi Kurdish mercenaries who played the role of operational forces, and MKO members who commanded the groups.
