Hafte Tir bombing allegations
On 28 June 1981,
Assassination
In 2018, it was revealed that Kolahi had been living in the Netherlands as a refugee under the false identity of Ali Motamed (Persian: علی معتمد) and had been murdered in December 2015.[3] Kolahi was married to an Afghan woman and had a 17-year-old son.[3] He had avoided events organised by his Afghan wife's family for fear of images of his face emerging on social media.[8]
According to Het Parool, two men suspected of killing Kolahi were identified as 28-year-old Anouar Aoulad-Buochea and 35-year-old Moreo Menso, “Both suspects have a criminal record and come from the same Bijlmer neighborhood of Amsterdam.” Several sources accused the Iranian government of being behind the assassination.[4]
Naoufal Fassih was also convicted of one charge of murder and one of attempted murder in relation to the case based on evidence seized from Ennetcom.[9] He subcontracted the murder to hitmen in the Netherlands.[9] Emails revealed that €130,000 was offered for the murder of Motamed, though the identity of whoever offered the money has never been established.[9]
