	Leftist Group in Iran Fires Mortars at Military Base. /NYT 14.03.2000
		Hajjarian to mount an attack, the experts said, the Mujahedeen Khalq was not likely to have been motivated by sympathy for the democratic reform movement, which it holds in equal contempt to the Islamic conservatives, seeing both as committed, in different ways, to upholding the Islamic system that the leftists despise.
		Hajjarian was that it might be part of a similar strategy, of sowing unrest that could justify Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's supreme religious leader, to declare a state of emergency and, at the extreme, to annul the parliamentary election.
		Hajjarian continued to press the case with revelations in Sobh-e Emrooz that suggested that the wrongdoing went back far beyond the 1998 murders, and that the ministry continued to harbor a powerful group of officials with blood on their hands.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Region \| Price of reformist victory? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Hajjarian, who was hit by two bullets on Sunday in central Tehran, is perhaps a singularly key figure in the reformist movement -- the liberal press did not exaggerate when its headlines screamed that the "heart and mind" of the movement had been struck.
		Given the threat of a massive outcry and public demonstrations in the event of Hajjarian's death, many speculated that the disclosure of his actual condition was as much a political matter -- awaiting the president's return to Tehran and guidance -- as a medical one.
		Because of Hajjarian's strategic role in the reform coalition, the attempt on his life can be viewed as a blow to the movement, a possible hard-line retribution for the reformists' resounding electoral victory.

	"The Origins of Iran's Reformist Elite" (April 2003)
		Born to a poor family and raised in the desolate slums of south Tehran, Hajjarian was recruited early in his life into Islamic activism and participated in the Islamic revolution of 1979.
		Hajjarian and his close associates in the CSS had a comprehensive political strategy to undermine the ascendance of the conservative Islamic right.
		Hajjarian's reluctance to deduce the obvious conclusions from his innovative approach to analyzing the theoretical incongruities of the Islamic regime was symptomatic of the security-intelligence elite's inability to irretrievably break with the core ideological premises of the Islamic revolution.
