Message [Reply to a telegraph of condolence on the martyrdom of Messrs: Raja'i and Bahonar]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Rashid Sa`id Al-e Maktoum, Vice-President of the UAE,

I received your Excellency's telegraph of condolence on the sad tragedy of the martyrdom of our beloved president and the prime minister with pleasure. I beseech God to grant higher status to the martyrs and to humiliate and annihilate the plotters.

May God's peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
