History of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK)

In 1982, the Pasdaran assassinated MEK's field commander, his wife, Massoud Rajavi's wife, and six others. The MEK then announced that its "legitimate resistance" would be carried out clandestinely. From 1982 to 1988, it performed sixty operations on average per week, resulting in assassinations of important Khomeini deputies.
