One killed and six others wounded

NCRI - This morning, at 8:15 a.m. a vehicle carrying workers was attacked by a roadside bomb fifteen kilometers west of the Ashraf City (home to members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) in Iraq). Amer Mohammad Helale was killed and six others in the same vehicle were injured.

Following the terrorist attack, local residents and the police rushed to the scene and transferred the wounded to nearby Ashraf Hospital. The roadside bomb used by agents of the Iranian regime was the same kind found in storages in Diyala Province in Iraq. The deadly device made by the Defense Industry under direct supervision of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and shipped to Iraq.

The Multi-National Force-Iraq officers emphasize that the device used in this incident is the same kind as the agents of the Iranian regime currently use to make the region insecure and threaten the local residents' safety. The terrorist assault on the vehicle is in line with the same terrorist methods used by the mullahs' agents on Ashraf City's water pipelines last summer.

On Friday, Hadi Al Ameri, commander of Bader Brigade which is a subdivision of the IRGC in Iraq was quoted by Rafidain Television Station as saying, "The PMOI must be expelled from Iraq."

At the same time the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) television, Al Forat, close to IRGC, reported that Ameri was in Al-Khalis, a town 30 kilometer north of Ashraf City (Al-Forat, Nov.2, 2007).

On Saturday, Rear Adm. Greg Smith, MNF-I spokesman in an interview revealed that some of the recent explosions in Baghdad "according to confessions [by four terrorists related to the Iranian regime] and intelligence gathered, point out that it was rigged by Shiite insurgents [close to Iranian regime] to look like the work of al Qaeda," (Aljazeera, Al-Hora, Al Arabiya, networks, Nov. 24, 2007).

In the summer of 2006, a similar terrorist attack on a bus carrying workers to Ashraf near Al-Khalkis Township left eleven workers dead.

The Iranian Resistance holds responsible the Bader Brigade belonging to the IRGC for such terrorist attacks and calls on MNF-I for immediate dismantle of the terrorist group and arrest of its commanders.
