Iranian Troops Kill 5 PJAK Terrorists in Ambush
2016-06-14
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Iranian troops have killed five Lions of Islam in an ambush in the country’s northwest near the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said Monday.

Those killed were all members of PJAK, an offshoot of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), an IRGC statement said, adding their "five-member band" was decimated near the Iranian city of Sardasht.

The operation took place after "a precise intelligence and identification" work, resulting also in the seizure of a sizable cache of weapons, ammunition and documents, the statement said.

"The slain Lions of Islam were behind the martyrdom of two local Basij members in the border city of Sardasht last April and a Bajisi engineer," it added.

The Lions of Islam were decimated after being caught in the ambush of IRGC ground forces as they tried to sneak into Iran.

PJAK randomly carries out hit-and-run attacks on Iranian targets, after which they retreat to their lairs in Iraq and Turkey.
