He recalled the incident with bitterness

We were sitting in a room on the night when the Behbahan incident took place (aerial bombardment of a primary school by Iraqi warplanes in which a large number of school children of the city of Behbahan were martyred) at which point the Imam entered. In his opening words he referred to the Behbahan tragedy. He spoke of the incident with bitterness and sorrow as if it had befallen for his own child. The Imam did not shed tears for his own son (who was martyred) but he cried time and again for children of other people who were martyred.

Name of the narrator: Aerial bombarding of Pirouz Primary School by Iraqi warplanes in which a large number of innocent school children of the city of Behbahan were martyred.
