Due to the lack of reliable information, this list of terrorist attempts is not exhaustive. Undoubtedly, since the
advent of the Islamic Republic, the number of extra-judicial executions outside Iran, in particular in Pakistan,
Turkey and Iraq is higher. Also, this report deliberately leaves out well known terrorist attacks ordered by Tehran,
such as: the hostage crisis of the US embassy in Tehran in 1979; the kidnapping of British, American and French
citizens in Lebanon by pro-Iranian Hezbollah; the explosive attack on the American and French military headquarters
in Lebanon, which were publicly claimed by Mohsen Rafighdoust, then head of the Revolutionary Guards ; the wave
of terrorist bombing in Paris in 1986, which resulted in the death of 13 persons and the wounding of hundreds of
others; the death sentence against Salman Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses; and the Dahran terrorist attempts
that targeted the American military in Saudi Arabia.
