The Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist group (MEK) took responsibility for attacking a military base in Urmia and killing more than seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in 1983.
According to Habilian, the terrorist group has confessed to this crime in No. 156 of the Mojahed Magazine, the main press organ of the MEK in the early years of the 1980s.
Based on this confession, on June 3, 1983, a number of the MEK’s terror units in Kurdistan, along with mercenary Peshmergas, attacked one of the IRGC bases in Barduk village in Urmia city. According to the magazine, "more than seven IRGC members" were killed as a result of the attack.
Attacking military bases has been one of the common terror methods of the MEK in the western provinces of the country by which a large number of IRGC members have been martyred.
