Voice of Mojahed
The Voice of Mojahed was a lasting symbol of the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980's, playing a cat and mouse game with Iranian jammer transmitters across the radio dial. Supporting the Mojahedin e-Khalq guerilla group it received tremendous support from Saddam Hussein's intelligence services. Following the liberation of Iraq in April 2003 the group negotiated an informal alliance with the U.S. military and the Voice of Mojahed was reportedly back on the airwaves.
