September 6 is a reminder of one of the hundreds of crimes committed by the MKO terrorist group in Tehran. On the evening of that day, when shopkeepers and ordinary people were returning home from their daily work, they were massacred in a bombing on Khayyam Street; victims ranged from a 3-year-old child to a 60-year-old man.
"In a horrific explosion that occurred at 7:35 PM on Khayyam Street opposite the parking lot of the Ministry of Industries and near a bus stop in the southern part of the city, a number of underprivileged individuals, tired from their daily work and heading home by bus, bicycle, or on foot, were martyred and nearly 50 people were injured. Among the dead and injured, ages ranged from a 3-year-old child to a 60-year-old man." According to what was published in the Kayhan newspaper on September 7, 1982; the newspaper refers to the burning of 10 cars, vans, and minibuses in the initial moments of the explosion, turning them into a mass of twisted metal, with their occupants burning in the flames while trapped inside the mangled wreckage.
Kayhan, quoting an eyewitness to this great crime, wrote: "The screams of several women and children burning under piles of fire and the headless and limbless bodies scattered around had so overwhelmed me that I almost fell to the ground and lost consciousness."
These few sentences report on one of the hundreds of crimes the MKO committed against the Iranian people on September 6, 1982; a crime that left deep scars on the walls of our cities. The Ettela'at newspaper, with the headline "Details of the Bomb Explosion at Chahar-rahe-Galubandak and the Massacre of Dozens of Innocent Passersby and Underprivileged," detailed the statements of the PR official of the Central Headquarters of the Islamic Revolution Committee, who said, "This bomb was homemade and very powerful, planted by the Monafeqin-e Khalq; such that its explosion tore a three-meter-wide and one-and-a-half-meter-deep crater at the site."
