The leader of this delegation was Sharefkandi Sadegh, a man highly respected by the Kurdish diaspora. When sitting at the table of Mykonos, a crowded restaurant where the exiles and emigrants * It was, like his comrades, coolly shot with automatic weapons. The killers slipped away in no time.

Controversy about the motivations, the method and timing of such an act soon, all inevitably mired in paranoia and fratricidal quarrels of political factionalism.
