They were machine gunned only four hundred meters away from their home and all of them were killed instantly.

The Iranian Resistance strongly condemns the kidnapping and ruthless terror and expresses its condolences to the Jabouri Family, in particular Dr. Jabouri. The Iranian Resistance reiterates the need for prosecution of the perpetrators of this crime and on the need for serious measures to deal with the clerical regime's terrorist meddling in Iraq.
