Opposition Group Accuses Iran Of Act Of Terror In France
The Albania-based opposition group Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) has accused the Islamic Republic of a terror attack on its building north of Paris.
In a statement the group claimed a building belonging to its supporters in the city of Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône was attacked by “terrorists and mercenaries of the IRGC Quds Force and the ministry of intelligence” who were speaking Farsi.
“Two terrorists threw incendiary devices towards the entrance of the building, but as soon as they were chased by the residents, they quickly fled the area in a car that was ready on the street,” read the statement.
The MEK further added that the fire at the entrance was extinguished quickly, and no one was injured, but police started investigations.
Earlier on May 31, the same place was targeted by six bullets, but no one was hit, according to the statement.
The group added that the recent release of Asadollah Asadi, an Iranian agent disguised as a diplomat in Europe who was convicted in a Belgian court for a terror plot in France in 2018, has made the regime more “audacious” to stage terrorist acts.
It also called on the French government, police, and judiciary to arrest the perpetrators of such criminal acts of terrorism and prosecute them and publish all the details to inform the public opinion.
A week ago, Olivier Vandecasteele, a Belgian aid worker detained in Iran, returned to his country in exchange for the release of Assadollah Asadi.
