His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam Lahouti (may his blessings last):
I was most grateful to receive your worthy telegram, which expressed your condolences on the painful tragedy on Muharram 12,1383 AH. «2» We can never forget this serious incident. I have announced the day as a national mourning day in the declaration, and mourning sessions were held. The Avenger God will enact vengeance for the oppressed ones whose blood was shed. Please thank the honorable residents on my behalf.
Khomeini
