Report reveals MKO’s role in 2017 attack on Parliament
A new report has disclosed more details about a terrorist attack on the Iranian Parliament in June 2017, revealing that the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) was in cahoots with Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terrorists in the assault.
The terrorist attack on the Iranian Parliament building in Tehran on June 7, 2017, killed 17 people and injured several others. The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the fatal operation, Tasnim reported.
New details of the attack, released after six years, indicate that the MKO terrorist group had collected information and masterminded the operation.
Tasnim has learned that the MKO terrorist group had obtained the blueprints for the entrances and exits of the Parliament building through acts of espionage and provided them to Daesh terrorists before masterminding the terrorist operation.
The MKO agents had obtained the information on the building and its gates after forming links with a Parliament staffer.
The individual who had established links with the MKO terrorists in virtual space used to accompany one of the Iranian lawmakers. During the period of connection, the individual had supplied the MKO terrorists with classified information. The individual has confessed to having been asked questions by the MKO’s main intermediary about the blueprints for the Parliament buildings, its entrances and exits, and the number of guards at each gate.
