The Mujahedeen-e Khalq terrorist group has claimed responsibility for killing of 33 members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in urumia, West Azerbaijan 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. 148 of the Journal of Mujahid, the group’s main press organ during early years of the 80s.
According to the confession, on April 15, 1983, some operational units of the MKO along with KDP’s Peshmerga mercenaries invade IRGC forces in Anzal District, urumia. The news stated that as a result of that attack, 33 members of Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed and more than 80 members were wounded.
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.
