Tehran - Iranian forces killed seven members of an Iraq-based rebel group as they tried to cross the border to carry out sabotage operations, Iran's state television reported yesterday.
It quoted an Intelligence Ministry statement as saying local tribal forces and government troops also wounded several Mujahideen Khalq members over the past few days.
One member of the pro-government forces was killed in the clashes, the ministry said. Iran yesterday denied it was behind a recent car-bombing in Baghdad that killed three Iraqis and an Iranian.
