A PDKI peshmerga, Salah Rahmani, and his son, Sabah Rahmani, were severely injured in a car bomb in a suburb to Hawler (Erbil), the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan.<\/p>\n
Salah Rahmani, a Peshmerga commander, had prior to today\u2019s terrorist attack received several threats from Iran\u2019s notorious intelligence agency.<\/p>\n
Sabah Rahmani, also a member of PDKI, lost both his legs in the Iranian terrorist attack and is in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
In the 1990s, Iranian agents assassinated approximately 500 members of the Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan. Most of the victims were members of PDKI.<\/p>\n
The PDKI\u2019s Asaysh Forces, tasked with internal security, have increased their capacity in counter-terrorism and have foiled numerous terrorist attacks by the Iranian regime. Iran made several attempts to carry out terrorist attacks against PDKI\u2019s 16th\u00a0Congress, but all such attempts were countered by the party\u2019s Asaysh Forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
