Bombs, bullets kill four Iranian leaders
by United Press International
Four more Iranian leaders are dead, three as a result of weekend violence.
Prosecutor-General Johatoleslam Ali Qodduosha was killed Saturday in a bomb blast hours after Police Chief Houshang Vahid Dastgerdil died from wounds suffered in the Aug. 30 explosion that killed President Mohammed Al Rajai and Prime Minister Mohammed Javad Bahonar.
The government did not immediately blame any group for the bombing attacks, although the leftist Mojahidene Khalq guerrilla movement battling the Islamic regime has been accused of the earlier bombings.
The latest Islamic leaders to be killed were Hojoteleslam Mohammed Barez, a prominent clergyman of Kermanshah in western Iran, who died yesterday of bullet wounds suffered Sunday, and Hamid Saemi, chief of the state-run dairy company, who was shot in Tehran Sunday, the government announced.
Prime Minister Mohammed Reza Mahdavi-Kani, who replaced Bahonar, denied that the assassinations were due to the internal struggle among clergy leaders.
Iranian exiles quotes Tehran press reports as saying 55 executions of political opponents were carried out Sunday and yesterday, bringing to 716 the number of executions since the clergy ousted former President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr and began to pursue his supporters.
BOTH MEN WERE short by unidentified gunmen in separate attacks.
Out of that total, 175 people have been executed since Raajal and Bahonar were assassinated.
AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH Khomeini yesterday refuted suggestions that the violence was a sign
of chaos and insisted "Iran is one of the most stable countries in the world."
Khomeini said, "Compare our country with other countries. Which country is more stable than ours? Where does another prime minister take over right after one is assassinated?"
Khomihei rejected speculation by "corrupt radio stations" that his foes could topple his regime by killing off his aides in a wave of assassinations.
"Eight assassination attempts have been made on presidents of the U.S.A., the biggest capitalist state, and four have been killed." Khomeini said.
"If stability could be destroyed upon a president's assassination, then the
U. S.A. should have lost its stability; too."
IN A MESSAGE to the world's Moslems, Khomeini said. "The world must know that God has created Iran and it has an uncompromising confrontation with the U.S.A. until elimination of interest of this world-devouring energy of the world's oppressed."
Tehran Radio, monitored in *Turkey*, said "vast thongs" filled the streets of the Iranian capital for the funeral of the two officials who died Saturday.
Shouts of "death of America" drowned other slogans during the procession, which was broadcast live by the radio.
