A court in the Southern Iranian city of Ahvaz has sentenced six members of Harakat Al-Nazal terror group to death in connection with terrorist attacks in Khouzestan province.
The six were involved in the armed operations by the grouping in 2017 and 2018.
They got the sentence for acting on the orders of the grouping’s ringleaders in Europe including Habib Nabgan and Habibollah Faraj Chaab nicknamed Habib Asyoud.
The convicts killed two Basij members in the city of Aabdan and separately a law enforcement staff and a draftee in the nearby Bandar Imam Khomeini.
The so-called Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz terrorist group (SMLA) has also claimed responsibility for an attack on a military parade in Ahvaz that killed 25 people, including members of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and civilian bystanders, and injured 70 others.
The outfit has carried out several operations, including assassinations, bombings, espionage and armed robbery, against the Iranian people which martyred and wounded at least 274 civilians. Members of the terror group are currently based in Several European states, including Sweden and Denmark.
The ringleader of Al-Ahwaziya, Chaab, was arrested in November 2020 on the back of a set of “specialized and combined measures” by Iranian intelligence forces.
He has conceded that he has been receiving support from Stockholm and the Swedish intelligence agency. The terrorist had admitted that the Saudi intelligence service pushed to unite all terrorist and separatist movements under a single umbrella organization to counter Iran following the formation of the Islamic Awakening movement.
