The Conference of Heads of States of Nonaligned Countries was scheduled to be held in Baghdad. The com-mander told Abbas, “We should not allow this to happen. We must render the Baghdad's sky unsafe, and you are chosen to do this." Abbas was pleased; he saluted and thanked the commander for being assigned to carry out the operation. That afternoon, Abbas told his wife, Narges, about it. Early in the morning, after writing his will, he said goodbye to Narges and Amir Reza, his toddler son, and went to the base. When he arrived at the base, his colleagues said that his jetfighter had technical bugs and cannot participate in the operation. Abbas was hell-bent to participate in the operation and said he would fly with the support of another fighter. After a few minutes, they were in Bagh-dad’s sky. First, Abbas’s jet fighter hit the Al-Dawra Refinery near Baghdad with missiles. A massive smoke swept the space of the area and Baghdad. But Abbas’s jetfighter was hit by the Iraqi defenses. Abbas realized that his fighter does not react to the commands and thus, he crash the aircraft into Al-Rashid Hotel building, the venue for the conference and sacrificed his life to foil the conference.
