After narrating this story the Imam stated: "Yes, in last night's incident also people had died en masse when their end had come and these martyrs had died together so that there was nothing to get terrorized at. The Imam possessed such a spiritual strength that all those who were received by him approached the incident with unsurpassed courage.
Imam Khomeini also said in a historic message that Martyr Ayatollah Dr. Sayyid Mohammad Hosseini Beheshti had been himself a nation.
Imam Khomeini made remarks more than four decades ago when Beheshti several of his colleagues lost their lives in the attack on June 28, 1981.
The casualties were caused after a bomb exploded at the headquarters of the Iran Islamic Republic Party (IRP) in Tehran, while a meeting of party leaders was in progress.
The terrorist attack was orchestrated by MKO, which at that time was involved in a campaign of assassinations against officials of the Islamic Republic and revolutionary figures.
Dr. Beheshti was considered as a right-hand of the great Imam and the founder of the Islamic Republic on several occasion hailed Beheshti’s knowledge of worldly and religious affairs and his political wisdom.
Imam had assigned Beheshti with drafting the constitution of the Islamic Republic even months before the emergence of the Revolution in 1979.
Moreover, Dr. Beheshti was the founder of student activism in several European and Western countries. Several of his comrades played a key role in managing and handling affairs following the revolution victory at the sensitive juncture of history.
