At 20:00 local Baghdad time, on Thursday 7 March 1996, a member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran was assassinated on Sa'dun Street, a mile from the Mojahedin's central office in Baghdad. The victim, Hamed Reza Rahmani, 33, who was an officer in the National Liberation Army of Iran (NLA), was near the Sheraton Hotel when gun-fire shattered the rear window of his four-wheel drive vehicle. He died instantly from gunshot wounds to his head. His wife, Ma'soumeh Hashemi, had already been murdered by the Iranian regime several years earlier. A spokesman for the People's Mojahedin blamed the attack on the agents of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and said it was the sixth assassination of the Mojahedin members in Baghdad since 1995. |
