3 Iranians Go on Trial in France in Slaying of Exiled Ex-Premier
1994
Overview
In a case that has already strained relations between Paris and Teheran, three Iranians went on trial here today for the 1991 slaying of Shahpur Bakhtiar, an exiled former Iranian Prime Minister. French prosecutors are expected to argue that the killing had Iranian Government approval. Relations between France and Iran seem certain to deteriorate again if prosecutors succeed in demonstrating that the slaying of Mr. Bakhtiar and his secretary, Sarouch Katibeth, was planned and approved at the highest levels of Iran's Government. Teheran has denied any role in the killings. The three killers were able to pass police checks and enter Mr. Bakhtiar's home in the western suburb of Suresnes because one of the men was known to Mr. Bakhtiar as an Iranian exile. Mr. Bakhtiar and Mr. Katibeth were strangled and then repeatedly stabbed with a kitchen knife, and the attackers escaped.
