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

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Muhammad Bin `Abdul-`Aziz, Prime Minister of Algeria,

I received your message of condolence on the tragic martyrdom of the beloved president and prime minister of our country. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness. These tragic incidents carried out by the agents of the criminal America in our country and other Islamic countries, expose the enemy and the shameful plots of this great Satan, against Islam and Islamic nations. These incidents also obviate the need to defend ourselves against the unfair accusations which have gone so far as to brazenly accuse us of buying weapons from and having ties with the occupying Israel, and reveal the dirty nature of these criminals. I beseech God to grant victory to Islam and Muslims and to defeat and exterminate the plotters.

May God's peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
