Turkish rebels fly jets protesting Khomeini rule over Tab riz
Rebels in Tabrriz northwest Iran flew five American made jets in a show of strength against Tehran. The incursion included occupation of the radiotelevision station and airport and forced the provincial governor from his mansion. Rebels refused two planes carrying Revolutionary Guards landing. A Tehran state program accused Moghadam Marghaie of spying for the United States. Pro Khomeini militants seized Radical Party HQ and detained nine. Moslem People's Party leader Shariat Madari, cited as a rival to Khomeini, downplayed his ties to Moghadam Marghaie. He had criticized the Islamic constitution but later denied backing Moghadam Marghaie for eastern provinces.
