...Tehran, Tabriz and other cities, sporadic fighting raised the death toll for the week to an estimated 1,500. A bewildering motley of forces was involved: troops loyal to the Shah, ethnic separatists, mojahedeen (literally crusaders) who backed the new government of Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan, and, ominously, Marxist fedayeen (sacrificers) who felt that the revolution had not moved far enough to the left...

...American embassy, as well as a raid on the Moroccan embassy, was the work of a fedayeen splinter group called the Cherikhaye Fedaye Khalq (People's Sacrifice Guerrillas).

The bishops condemned the "national security" ideologies that undergird most of Latin America's military regimes for leading "to the abuse of power and violation of human rights," but they also denounced leftist terrorism.

...Tehran; it was provoked by a skirmish between airmen supporting Khomeini and others loyal to the government. The Khomeini contingent was reinforced by thousands of civilians who rushed to the area, in what appeared to be a preplanned move. Joining them later were 8,000 leftists of the "Saihkal Marxist Group," which takes its name from a Caspian village seized by the Communists 14 years ago.
