Taleghani Leaves Tehran Amid Dispute Over Arrests
Ayatollah Mahmoud Taleghani fled Tehran after a clash over the arrest of his son and daughter-in-law by armed revolutionaries. The move risks widening rifts among guerrilla groups loyal to Khomeini while eight more men including two generals were executed, bringing total executions since mid February to 134. The government said the arrests were mistaken identity and promised punishment for those responsible. The elder Taleghani filed a strong protest and the detainees were released.
