He later cut off the horse& #39;s tongue, blinded it& #39;s eyes and killed it./1
Khalkhali& #39;s reign of terror started at the very night of Islamic revolution& #39;s victory, when he executed 5 men on Khomeini& #39;s command.

His terrors continued with summary executions and mass shootings of Pahlavi dynasty associates including one on the "Refah" school rooftop./2
He collaborated with "Fada& #39;iyan-e Islam" terrorist group to assassinate late Shah& #39;s family and relatives outside Iran.

Shahriar Shafigh, one of Shah& #39;s sons was assassinated in Paris in 1979./3
