Imam Khamenei pays tribute to late Imam Khomeini

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - After visiting the Imam Khomeini's mausoleum in south of the capital city of Tehran Tuesday morning , Ayatollah Khamenei also paid tribute to the memory of a number of country's officials who were martyred in a bomb explosion on Tir 7 (June 28, 1981).

On Tir 7 in 1981 ex-chief justice Ayatollah Mohammad Hosseini Beheshti and 72 other officials were martyred in a bomb blast at the headquarters of the former Islamic Republic party planted by the terrorist Mujahedeen Khalq Organization (MKO).

February 1 is the day when the late Imam Khomeini returned home from his years-long exile. The late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran arrived in Tehran from Paris this day in 1979 and was rapturously welcomed by a very huge crowd of people from all parts of the country.
