Mohammad-Reza Kolahi (Template:Lang-fa), was a member of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) who infiltrated the Islamic Republican Party (IRP) and planted a bomb on the headquarters of the latter that killed more than 70 officials in 1981, according to the Iranian authorities. The victims included the party's secretary-general and Iran's chief justice, 4 cabinet ministers, 10 vice ministers and 27 members of the parliament. He reportedly was a freshman student of electrical engineering who worked as an electrician in the IRP. On 28 June 1981, he planted two bombs and left the building to "buy ice creams" ten minutes before detonations.
In 2018, it was revealed that he was living under false identity of Ali Motamed (Template:Lang-fa) in the Netherlands as refugee, and was murdered in December 2015. Kolahi was married to a Dutch woman and had a 17-year-old son. Two suspects of killing Kolahi identified as 28-year-old Anouar A.B. and 35-year-old Moreo M, neither are of Iranian origin. According to Radio Farda, Iranian government may be behind the murder.
