The official, Mohammed Hussein Nagdi 42 a former<br />

Iranian diplo~at who <strong>de</strong>fected to Tehran'; opponents a<br />

<strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong> ago, dl~ as th~ police tried to g<strong>et</strong> him to a hospital<br />

~ter what Iraman eXiles called a further episo<strong>de</strong> in the<br />

un<strong>de</strong>rground war b<strong>et</strong>ween Iran's Islamic lea<strong>de</strong>rs and their<br />

adversaries.<br />

The M~jahid!n Kh~lq, an opposition group with offices in<br />

many capItals, Inc~udIng":'as~ngton, blamed the regime of<br />

PreSI<strong>de</strong>nt H~~elTIJ ~a~sanJam of Iran for the killing, which<br />

recalled a sllTIJlarkillIng of a senior mujahidin figure in<br />

Switzerland three years ago.<br />

At that time, Kazem Rajavi, an el<strong>de</strong>r brother of Massoud<br />

Rajavi, the mujahidin lea<strong>de</strong>r, was slain in Geneva. French<br />

police arrested two men in connection with the killing in<br />

November. In recent years, many other Iranian exiles have<br />

been slain in Europe and elsewhere, including a former<br />

pnme ITIJnIster,Shahpur Bakiltiar, who was stabbed to <strong>de</strong>ath<br />

neilr <strong>Paris</strong> in August 1991.<br />

"'We are sure that this is another of the Rafsanjani<br />

regime's terrorist acts," said Mehry Moussavi, the London<br />

representative of the mujahidin. The Iranian press agency,<br />

I~NA, however, said. Mr. Nagdi was "most probably a<br />

':leHm of Intergroup dIfferences" within the exiled opposi-<br />

.1I0n.<br />

Mujahi~in officials in Washington, speaking by tele-<br />

"hone, saId Mr. Nagdl was not a member of their organization<br />

but hea<strong>de</strong>d the Rome office of the National Council of<br />

Resistance of Iran, a mujahidin-dominated umbrella group.<br />

The Mujahidin Khalq was one of several groups that<br />

fought to overthrow the shah in Iran's 1979 revolution and<br />

later lost out to Ayatollah Ruhallah Khomeini's forces in the<br />

ensuing power struggle.<br />

Since then, it has waged a propaganda war on the Tehran<br />

regime from its of~icesin the West and also boasts a military<br />

force, WIthbases In Iraq, that has staged cross-bor<strong>de</strong>r raids<br />

into Iran.<br />

The killing coinci<strong>de</strong>d with the start of a trial in Yenice in<br />

which some 30 Italian bankers, industrialists and secr<strong>et</strong><br />

sp.rviceofficers are accused of making illegal arms sales to<br />

Iran worth $130 million in contravention of an embargo<br />

during its war with Iraq from 1980 to 1988.<br />

The accused inclu<strong>de</strong> the former presi<strong>de</strong>nt and director<br />

general of the Banca Nazianale <strong>de</strong>l Lavoro, whose Atlanta<br />

branch has also been implicated in illegal credits to Iraq<br />

during the same period.<br />

avec les députés kur<strong>de</strong>s ou d'autres peiSonnalités<br />

èélébrations <strong>de</strong> Newroz, le nouvel an kur<strong>de</strong>. qui<br />

avaient été l'occasion l'an <strong>de</strong>rnier <strong>de</strong> manifestations<br />

reprimées dans le sang.<br />

Entre-temps le PKK a été sérieusement mis à mal<br />

par l'offensive <strong>de</strong> l'armée qui n' avait pas hésité en<br />

octobre à pénétrer au nord <strong>de</strong> l1rak pour attaquer<br />

les bases <strong>de</strong> la guérilla. Pour le moment les autorités<br />

turques restent pour le moins circonspectes.<br />
