Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

The Decision Unfulfilled

In his recent e-mail, Paul Sheldon Foote quotes remarks by Robert Baer, who has worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the Middle East, revealing that the White House, gearing up for invading Iraq, distributed a background paper listing the MEK as a pretext for a future war with Iraq. The paper provides evidences that Iraq is notoriously known to sponsor terrorism and is a bastion of terrorist groups including MEK. The paper’s first evidences are as the follow:

Iraq is one of seven countries that have been designated by the Secretary of State as state sponsors of international terrorism. UNSCR 687 prohibits Saddam Hussein from committing or supporting terrorism, or allowing terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq. Saddam continues to violate these UNSCR provisions.

In 1993, the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) directed and pursued an attempt to assassinate, through the use of a powerful car bomb, former U.S. President George Bush and the Emir of Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities thwarted the terrorist plot and arrested 16 suspects, led by two Iraqi nationals.

Iraq shelters terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.

In April 2003, American and coalition forces attacked the communist terrorists at Camp Ashraf in Iraq and disarmed them. Although now the group is under the control of American and Bulgarian forces, the Americans themselves are well aware of the group’s terrorist threats and, of course, disregard the pressure exerted by the few advocates of the group. The decisive decision is not yet taken.

Fox News

MOSSAD, Mojahedin Khalq, Fox News

Open letter to Fox News

To: Fox News Channel

After former Secretary of State Colin Powell insisted upon the closing of the MEK’s National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) office in the National Press Building in Washington, DC, the Fox News Channel retained the NCRI’s spokesperson ,Alireza Jafarzadeh, as a foreign affairs analyst.

Biography: Alireza Jafarzadeh

Alireza Jafarzadeh is the president of Strategic Policy Consulting, Inc. He is also a FOX News Channel Foreign Affairs Analyst.

Alireza Jafarzadeh is the author of “The Iran Threat: President Ahmadinejad and the Coming Nuclear Crisis” (Palgrave Macmillan, January 2007).

http://www.spconsulting.us/Alireza-Jafarzadeh-Bio.htm

The MEK (MKO, PMOI, Rajavi Cult, Pol Pot of Iran) has been on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations since the administration of former President Bill Clinton. This communist cult has murdered American military officers, Rockwell International employees, and large numbers of Iranians and Iraqis. In 2003, after American and coalition forces attacked Camp Ashraf, Iraq and killed some of America’s terrorist enemies, the American government ordered the American military to protect America’s communist enemies.

Researchers who want to know why the Fox News Channel has been promoting the Rajavi Cult (or Pol Pot of Iran) need some answers to posted allegations that MOSSAD is behind the support for the MEK:

http://www.irandidban.com/master-e.asp?ID=03864

The first form of control alluded to earlier—i.e. the recruitment of informants within the organisation—has been used effectively since 1997. MOSSAD is known to have at least half a dozen such “sources” within the organisation. In most cases the recruitment of these sources is unbeknownst to the organisation. The reason for this is simple: MOSSAD does not trust the information given to it by the organisation and thereby needs direct access to information. Most of these “sources” are based in Western Europe, however there is known to be at least one MOSSAD agent in the North American branch of the organisation. Ramesh Sepehrad, who is based in the Washington DC area, was recruited by MOSSAD through her Jewish-American boy friend in early 1997.* An active lobbyist and fundraiser for the Mojahedin, Sepehrad apparently agreed to work for MOSSAD once she was assured the agency had a collaborative relationship with the Mojahedin. In other words Sepehrad’s spying activities would not necessarily harm the organisation.

Sepehrad has proved to be a key link in the MOSSAD-Mojahedin nexus in recent years. It is through her that Israeli agencies feed intelligence disinformation to Ali Reza Jaffarzadeh, which is in turn broadcast to the world via the FOX media network. Sepehrad also feeds disinformation to Hedayat Mostowfi and Ali Safavi, two long-standing MKO members who are key figures in the organisation’s propaganda activities. A frequent traveller to Israel, Sepehrad is now considered a veteran MOSSAD agent. Indeed she is known to have undertaken MOSSAD-inspired espionage operations that are wholly unconnected to the Mojahedin and Iran. Some of these revolve around spying on Arab feminist and pro-Palestinian forums in the United States.

http://www.irandidban.com/master-e.asp?ID=05305

For Alireza Jafarzadeh’s next appearance on the Fox News Channel, please ask him to answer these posted allegations. Then, the management of the Fox News Channel needs to explain why the Fox News Channel has been promoting America’s terrorist enemies. In September 2002, the White House distributed a background paper for President George W. Bush’s remarks at the United Nations. That background paper used as a pretext for the Iraq War the fact the the MEK was a terrorist organization supported by Saddam Hussein.

Saddam Hussein’s Support for International Terrorism

——————————————————————————–

Iraq shelters several prominent Palestinian terrorist organizations in Baghdad, including the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), which is known for aerial attacks against Israel and is headed by Abu Abbas, who carried out the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer.

Iraq shelters the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq.

In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments are made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who is handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue."

Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility in Iraq known as Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs receive training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations.

Why does the Fox News Channel continue to promote the Rajavi Cult and the neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites)?

Iraq says MKO behind violence

A senior Iraqi prosecutor has said there is evidence to suggest the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization is involved in the ongoing violence in Iraq.

“The Iraqi Supreme Criminal Court has been provided with documents on the Mujahedin Khalq Organization’s (MKO) crimes against the people in southern Iraq and the people of Tuz Khormato in the south of Kirkuk,” the Iraqi Chief Prosecutor, Ja’far al-Mousavi, told the Iraqi Al-Bayyinah al-Jadidah paper.

“The prosecutors have filed a lawsuit against MKO ringleaders based on the documents and will bring them to trial for committing atrocities against the Iraqi nation,”al-Mousavi said.

“The names of the people taking orders from MKO leaders and the names of the victims will be announced to the media as soon as possible,”he added.

“There are pictures among the documents depicting the intelligence officers of the former Iraqi regime delivering a great deal of money to MKO leaders,”he continued.

Members of the MKO, an anti-Iranian terrorist organization which has long been on the lists of terror groups compiled by the US, the European Union, Canada and Iran, are active in the US, Iraq and several European countries.

Iran

Ambassador: We raised our concerns transparently in Baghdad meeting

Iranian Ambassador to Iraq Hassan Kazemi homi said Iran’s concerns were brought up in a transparent way in the trilateral meeting in Baghdad between Iran, US and Iraq.

Speaking in a press conference after the meeting, Kazemi Ghomi said, "We made clear the role of occupiers in Iraq and reminded them their mistakes in running the affairs in Iraq."

"We also told the Americans explicitly that the problems of Iraqi people will increase if the US continues its occupation of Iraq." "Our main reason for taking part in the negotiation was supporting the government of Prime Minister al-Maliki in Iraq and we are ready to offer any kind of assistance to Iraq Government to increase its ability in running the country," Ambassador Kazemi said.

On the accusations raised by the US delegation about Iran’s intervention in Iraq, the ambassador said,"This is not the first time that Americans raise that accusation and we gave appropriate responses to them in the meeting."

He said the three sides agreed on helping the government of Iraq that it can restore national sovereignty.

Stressing that the lack of security was the most serious problem in Iraq, the participants underlined the necessity of helping the legitimate government of Iraq to achieve the ability for establishing security in the country.

The ambassador said the establishment of a trilateral security committee to strengthen the military and defensive abilities of Iraqi government was discussed in the meeting.

Kazemi said today’s talks were the first step of a process and the Iraqi government has proposed the resumption of them in near future which should be examined in Tehran.

On the issue of Iranian diplomats captured in Iraq by US forces, Kazemi said that issue was not raised in the talks because "we believe the Iraqi government is responsible for it and should take the required steps in this regard."

On the terrorist group of MKO, Kazemi said based on the decisions taken by the government of Iraq, the members of the group must leave Iraq and Baghdad is determined to implement its decisions

Iran-US Talks

Talks between Iran and the US were covered widely by the media. BBC wrote:

"Al-Hayat and Asharq Al-Awsat, two major Arab international newspapers, also published in Iraq, have both given their headlines to the issue.

Among Iraqi newspapers, Al-Sabah newspaper, which is close to the government and is considered to be the most influential newspaper in Iraq, has discussed the issue with a big headline on the first page reading: ‘Three sides, a case and ambiguous talks’.

In its editorial, Al-Sabah wrote that observers believe that Iran-US talks on the issue of Iraq could lead to success if Iran stopped supporting the groups that attack US forces; in return, Americans should lift threats against Iranian political system. On of these threats is the presence of MKO in Iraq."

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

Mujahedin Treachery

Meeting between Abbas Davari; Head of the MKO Central Committee and officials from Saddam Hussein’s Secret Intelligence Service (IIS, Mukhaberat).

During the Iran-Iraq conflict of 1980-1988, the MKO would spy on the Iranian army and deliver their information to the Iraqis, in exchange of funds and military equipments.

These films were part of a long established policy of the Iraqi intelligence service, where they would secretly tape every meeting for future”insurance”. After the fall of Saddam Hussein the tapes got out to the public.

This shot clip is only a small segment of films currently available.

Iraq

expert: Iran-U.S. dialogue should create direct communication link

Neocon impulses of Bush administration have largely evaporated

TEHRAN, May 25 (MNA) — Diplomats from Iran and the United States are scheduled to meet in Baghdad on May 28 to discuss the deteriorating security situation in Iraq. It is the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that officials from Iran and the U.S. will be meeting face to face.

Even though Iranian and U.S. officials have stated that the security situation in Iraq is the only topic on the agenda of the talks, some analysts say that the meeting provides a good opportunity to discuss other differences between the two countries, particularly the standoff over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Bahram Rajaee, the director of international and external relations for the American Political Science Association, told the Mehr News Agency in an interview on Tuesday that he believes the most important goal of the planned talks between Iran and the U.S. should be to “establish a direct avenue of communication regarding regional affairs.”

Following is the text of the interview:

Q: What do you think of the planned Iran-U.S. negotiations on Iraq? Do you think the negotiations will only focus on Iraq or will the discussion be expanded to include other subjects as well?

Rajaee: Given that the security situation in Iraq has deteriorated markedly since 2003, I believe U.S.-Iran talks on Iraq are long overdue. The Bush administration is facing increasing domestic pressure to demonstrate it can demonstrate progress, and engaging Iraq’s neighbors such as Iran in a bid to tamp down the violence in Iraq is one way of doing so. From my perspective, it is highly likely that the talks will focus heavily on Iraq. Officials from both governments have already said that this will be their focus, and this is probably a good thing as dragging other issues into the process now may be premature and serve to undermine mutual confidence. I believe the most important goal, aside from working to reduce instability in Iraq, is for the U.S. and Iran to establish a direct avenue of communication regarding regional affairs.

Q: What points will be discussed in the negotiations?

Rajaee: Most likely, the immediate points of discussion will be Iran’s alleged support for various Shia militias, or alleged ties to other insurgent groups, and its intelligence/counterintelligence/military operations presence on the ground. In addition, Iran’s intentions regarding Iraq’s future government will also likely come into play. For its part, Iran will likely question the duration of the U.S. presence in its neighbor, allegations of U.S./Israeli cross-border operations into Iran, U.S. intentions regarding the Iraqi Shia, and the future of the MEK (the terrorist group Mojahedin Khalq).

Q: Some analysts argue that moderates in the Bush administration are winning over the dwindling ranks of neoconservatives. What is your view?

Rajaee: I agree that it is abundantly clear the “neoconservative” impulses of the Bush administration have largely evaporated under the costs of their own actions and heavy domestic political opposition. Even if this worldview were still in place, virtually the entire political universe around the president has shifted since 2003 in a way that makes acting on this perspective nearly impossible. Simply put, the American public and most American politicians have come to realize the very heavy costs the president’s ideology has imposed on them — with no end in sight. The case of Iran is one instance where this shift is gradually becoming apparent, but North Korea is another. In both cases, while there is still significant pressure to use greater force, the administration has opted for a diplomatic path for now. Again, this may well be more a belated recognition of their political inability to achieve their goals than a true shift in perspective, but nevertheless this is the political reality of Washington today.

Q: What do you think of the combined influence of Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on the Iran-U.S. dialogue?

Rajaee: I think the roles of these individuals in the process of adopting a different approach to U.S. foreign policy is instrumental, but I would draw a clear distinction between Sec. Rice and Sec. Gates. Rice has been part of George W. Bush’s inner policy making circle since 1999/2000 and was intimately involved in the post-9/11 response as well as the planning and execution of the Iraq war. She also apparently shares the president’s predilection for viewing the world in black-white terms (“good vs. evil”) and even as she has chosen or been forced into being more of a diplomat recently, she will not be able to escape this past. However, I understand that she is increasingly relying on experienced senior advisors in the State Department (such as Nick Burns) who arguably favor diplomacy over the use of force regarding Iran — but tough diplomacy that aims to achieve U.S. objectives.

Robert Gates has a quite different background and arguably his entry into the administration — and the departure of Rumsfeld — was a huge turning point and major step in the erosion of the neoconservative hold on U.S. foreign policy. He is a well-known pragmatist and moderate. I think his ability to encourage more flexible approaches in both Bush and Rice will serve the U.S. well — both in these upcoming talks with Iran as well as larger deliberations on U.S. regional policy.

European Union

MKO on the EU’s Terror List Next Week

Reported by MKO-run website, NCR, the EU’s Council of Ministers intends to maintain MKO on the terrorist list. It is planning to announce its decision next week.

Calling it a continuation of appeasement of Iranian regime, MKO condemned the decision taken by the EU and said: “In defiance of EU Court ruling, the EU Council intends to maintain the PMOI on the terror list”.

The Council intends to designate MKO because the group has failed to provide any convincing document that would justify its deproscription. Although MKO claims it has forsworn terrorism since June 2001, there are countless evidences that the group was actively plotting and carrying out terrorist operations until 2003 when it was disarmed by the coalition forces in Iraq. A remarkable document on the group’s activities is recently released report by the State Department after the group was redesignated as a terrorist group. On the description of MKO and its terrorist activities after 2001 the report reveals:

In 2003, French authorities arrested 160 MEK members at operational bases they believed the MEK was using to coordinate financing and planning for terrorist attacks. Upon the arrest of MEK leader Maryam Rajavi, MEK members took to Paris’ streets and engaged in self-immolation. French authorities eventually released Rajavi. Although currently in hiding, Rajavi has made appearances via video-satellite to "motivate" MEK-sponsored conferences across the globe.

According to evidence which became available after the fall of Saddam Hussein, the MEK received millions of dollars in Oil-for-Food program subsidies from Saddam Hussein from 1999 through 2003, which supported planning and executing future terrorist attacks. In addition to discovering 13 lists of recipients of such vouchers on which the MEK appeared, evidence linking the MEK to the former Iraqi regime includes lists, as well as video footage of Saddam Hussein handing over suitcases of money to known MEK leaders, and video of MEK operatives receiving training from the Iraqi military.

The Mojahedin cult’s she-guru, Maryam Rajavi, in reaction to the decision states that “If the Council decides to maintain the PMOI on the list, the organization will again refer the matter to the European Court of Justice”.
