Colonel Lewis Lee Hawkins (8 August 1930–2 June 1973) was a United States military aid to Iran who was assassinated by Marxist terrorists.
The terrorists fled the scene and were not captured.
Some sources believe that the group Mujahedin-e-Khalq were responsible for the assassination.
Later ,Vahid Afrakhteh, a former member of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq who branched into more radical group Peykar was captured and confessed to the assassination.
