"Members of this terrorist team were identified in a region near Sardasht and in the course of a surprise operation ... the terrorist team was destroyed."
The Kurdish group Komala (or Komaleh) was founded in 1969, and led by Ibrahim Alizadeh, but split up over ideological differences. Kurdish newspapers report that the communist Komala has confirmed the incident and says three of their members and a local citizen were killed in an ambush.
