Masoud Keshmiri (Template:Lang-fa) was an Iranian politician who, according to Jomhuriy-e Eslami newspaper, was identified on September 5th by Iran's revolutionary prosecutor as having infiltrated the Islamic Republican Party (IRP) and come up through the ranks, reaching the position of secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, before planting an incendiary bomb in his briefcase that blew up the Prime Minister's office in 1981. Victims of the explosion were President Mohammad-Ali Rajaei and Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar among others. At first, it was thought that Keshmiri himself died in the explosion, however it was later revealed that he slipped through the dragnet.
