Terrorist Attack On Azerbaijani Embassy In Iran Was Planned Ahead - Employee Of Embassy
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 6. The terrorist
attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran was deliberate and
planned, trend reports.
This fact was mentioned in a video shown at a briefing at
Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in connection with the
terrorist attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in the Islamic Republic
of Iran on January 27.
Vasif Tagiyev, an injured employee of the embassy, said in the
video that later he heard in the news that the terrorist allegedly
came to the embassy 'to look for his wife.'
'It's a lie. His aim was to commit a terrorist attack. A man who
came to look for his wife would not have come with a gun,' he
stressed.
An armed attack took place at the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran
on January 27, 2023, at about 8:30 (GMT+4). The gunman turned out
to be a man in his 50's, who drove up to the administrative
building, armed with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle.
Earlier reports from the Chief of Tehran police said there were
two children in the car with the gunman, the security camera footage released later proved the man was alone. He entered the building after briefly
waving hand to the Iranian security guard outside. No attempts were
made to detain the gunman, as he freely entered the embassy. The
man managed to kill head of the security service and wounding two
embassy guards. The shooter was eventually detained. The incident
is currently being investigated.
Following the deadly assault, Azerbaijan evacuated its officials
from the embassy, including those who suffered as a result of the
attack and completely suspended the work of the embassy in
Tehran.
