The man who led a group of assassins into the Paris home of former Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar in 1991 has died of the coronavirus, IranWire has reported.
Fereydoon Boyer-Ahmadi died in Tehran August 7, the day after the 30th anniversary of the bloody murder.
Boyer-Ahmadi had befriended Bakhtiar in exile and acted like an avid supporter. He asked Bakhtiar if he could bring two other activists to meet the last prime minister of the monarchial regime. The pair were regime assassins who knifed Bakhtiar to death. All three then simply walked out of the house passed French police guards.
Boyer-Ahmadi and one of the hit men managed to get out of France and back to Iran. But the third, Ali Vakili-Rad, was caught in Geneva, sentenced to life in prison by a French court, but freed in 2010.
IranWire said Boyer-Ahmadi had various jobs in Iran after returning and moved around to different cities as anti-regime activists reportedly targeted him for elimination.
