From Wikipedia
Quote
Mohammad-Reza Kolahi (Persian: محمدرضا کلاهی‎), was a member of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) that, according to Iranian authorities, was suspected of planting a bomb at the headquarters of the Islamic Republican Party (IRP) that killed more than 70 officials in 1981.[4] Kolahi was assassinated in 2015. The Islamic Republic of Iran is believed to have been behind the assassination.[4]

He reportedly was a freshman student of electrical engineering who worked as an electrician in the IRP.[2]

As a literal terrorist, obvious HP. The story of the People's Mujahedin is fascinating though. They went from being Marxists opposed to the Shah, to being secular pro-Saddamist opponents of the Ayatollah, to being a cultish organization touted as the next Iranian regime by neocons like Bolton and funded by the Saudis and Israelis.

Lots of organizations and individuals like this exist during revolutionary periods. Events move so fast and rapidly that the modern concept of spectromatic political order is completely scrambled and groups are forced to identify on principle rather than chasing an ever-shifting center. What changed wasn't the MeK so much as the Iran and global environment in which they existed.

Not great, but we would probably agree on many things.

All MEK members are ultra HP. Possibly the second worst movement of the revolutionary period after the Khomeinists.
