2 Terrorist Groups Disbanded

Head of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps' Public Relations Department announced that the IRGC forces have recently dismantled two terrorist groups who sought to carry out acts of sabotage inside Iran, stressing that they were mercenaries of Saudi Arabia. "By making hollow promises, Saudi Arabia attempted to get terrorist groups, including Komala and the former Democrat group [Democratic Party of Iran's Kurdistan affiliated to Komala party], to confront the Islamic Republic," Lieutenant General Ramezan Sharif said on Tuesday, Fars News Agency reported. "Two 12-member and 16-member teams [linked to] the Democrat [party] who had entered Iran for sabotage operations were disbanded by IRGC's Ground Forces and the Intelligence Ministry before they could do anything of note," he added. Reports on Monday said several terrorists affiliated to the Komala party (a terrorist group active in Kurdestan Province) were captured by Iranian security forces.
