Armed clash in western Tehran

SMCCDI:

Aug 30, 2005, 13:20 An armed clash erupted, late afternoon, in Emamzadeh-Hassan area located in Greater Tehran.

Islamic republic regime forces closed all perimeters and were seen trying to storm a residence occupied by what was qualified as 'terrorists'.

Noise of shoot out were heard for more than half an hour as armed elements opposed fiercely militiamen's attack. Several Bassij and plainclothes agents were seen wounded during the action.

The theocratic regime uses labels, such as, bandit, hooligan, spy, terrorist, rapist or drug addict in order to qualify its armed opponents. Such policy helps its European and Asian partners in order to justify their economic collaboration with an unpopular regime.
