TABNAK, Sep, 20: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a statement said that the terrorist team was dismantled while trying to enter Iran from Kordestan border.

A number of the terrorist team were killed and wounded in the operation, and their weapons were also confiscated by the Iranian forces as well.

Ribwar Karimian, a member of the leadership committee of the anti-Iran Komala separatist group Komala was killed while he was trying to enter Iran to conduct a terrorist attack.

That came as all terrorists affiliated with the Komala group were forced to relocate from their previous camps in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region earlier this month under a security agreement between Tehran and Baghdad.

The Komala is an Iraq-based terrorist organization that has carried out assassinations in western Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Iran and Iraq signed a security agreement that includes coordination in protecting the border between the two countries in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on March 19 last year.
