Member of Iraqi Center for Development Information; Manhal Morshedi also emphasized that despite the fact that the Iraqis see Mujahedin Khalq terrorist Organization [MKO] as a source of concern to Iraq as well as its neighboring countries, US is trying to exert illegal pressure to keep this organization in Iraq.  Adding that the MKO’s presence in Iraq is illegal and unjustified and the reason is primarily their terrorist acts against Iraqi people.

The MEK Expulsion from Iraq

Iraqi Tribal Leaders Want Mojahedin Khalq Expelled

Iraqi Tribal Leaders Want Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) Expelled BASRA, Iraq, June 28–Southern Iraq’s tribal leaders held a session Saturday in which they called for a bid to expel the terrorist elements of Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) from Iraqi soil.  Speaking at the session, tribal committee chief at Iraq’s parliament condemned the existence of any terrorist organization in Iraq naming the MKO which was considered as a tool in the hands of Iraq’s former Baath regime to suppress Iraqi Shiites.  Listed as a terrorist organization by Iran, Iraq, the United States, Canada and the European Union, the MKO is believed to be in charge of several terrorist operations carried out especially in Iran and Iraq.  "Southern tribes condemn all terrorist organizations because their hands are stained with Iraqi people’s blood," Daqer al-Mousavi told the session.  Iraqi lawmakers and political leaders have long insisted on a request to expel the anti-Iranian MKO from Iraq.  Earlier this month the United Iraqi alliance, which is the biggest bloc in the parliament, and the National Kurdistan Alliance, submitted a bill to the parliament demanding an end to the presence of MKO terrorists in Iraq which was approved later.  Iraqi officials say the group is playing a significant role in violence and insecurity in the country.  "MKO members are crossing freely in Diyala every day and enjoying the most facilities in the province while Iraqi people are struggling with starvation to survive," Salem al-Dorraji, one of the tribal leaders, told Alalam reporter.  "We have no place for those who slaughtered Iraqi people in 1991 and are still killing our people, they must leave our soil immediately," al-Dorraji added.Supported by Saddam Hossein, the MKO committed widespread crimes in Iraq, killing many people, after the 1991 Persian Gulf War.  Iraq, June 29, 2008 http://www.alalam.ir/english/en-NewsPage.asp?newsid=031030120080628225807

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

U.K., U.S. and Israel have a duty to grant safe haven to Mojahedin-e Khalq

The Iraqi administration issued a statement on June 17, 2008 designating the Mojahedin-e Khalq as a terrorist organization and calling on the U.S. to stop supporting the militant group.

June 19, Al Alam television aired a discussion on the issue on its ‘Iraq Today’ programme. The programme titled ‘Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorists and American support’ was presented by Ali Al Sadi.

The participants were:

Sheikh Mazen Al Saedi, Managing director of the Sadr office in Baghdad.

Mr. Ali Al Alagh, Member of Parliament.

Mr. Ebrahim Khodabandeh, Terrorism and Cult expert from Tehran, Iran.

Excerpts:

Ebrahim Khodabandeh said, “It is important to recognise that these people have been working against the Iranian and Iraqi people for the last three decades in line with the interests of the U.K., U.S. and Israel – during Saddam’s war against Iran and against his own people. Although the organisation is a terrorist entity by nature, many retired individuals need to be rescued by those who have used them. It is not the duty of Iran or Iraq to help these people but the U.K., U.S. and Israel should grant safe haven and retirement opportunities for their cohorts.”

Sheikh Mazen Al Saedi condemned the support of America, Israel and Britain for MKO terrorists and said, “this is a clear indication of enmity against the people of Iran and Iraq”.

Mr. Ali Al Alagh, MP was asked “now that parliament has asked the government to deport these people, is it going to be a legal requirement for the government to do so?” He responded, “it did not need parliament to pass a new law as the presence of terrorists has been banned by our constitution and it is a normal government responsibility to make sure they don’t stay in Iraq.”

Iraq Not Place to Raid Neighbors

A member of Iraqi parliament criticizes the Turkish incursion against PKK rebels in northern Iraq, stressing that Iraq’s territories should not be used to attack neighboring countries.

“Before attacking northern Iraq, Turkey was supposed to attempt resolving the crisis by exercising the bilateral cooperation and diplomatic measures to prevent PKK from threatening Turkey’s security, a crucial measure that has regrettably not adopted,”said Abdul Aziz Al- Enzi, an Iraqi MP on Sunday evening to Alalam TV.

He said that Iran has also expressed concerns over ‘Mujahedin Khalgh’ an Iranian opposition terrorist group (MKO) to employ Iraq’s territories to target some ends in Iran.

“Iraqi government should adopt swift measures to resolve this crisis,”he said. Al- Enzi stressed that any delay in resolving the MKO terrorists and PKK rebels’ crisis would have negative affect on Iraq- Turkey and Iraq- Iran ties.

“Iraq’s Foreign Ministry should try to find a way out of this crisis to avoid such accidents with the adjacent countries,”he added.

Al- Enzi rejected any rumors, saying,”Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has demanded Turkish government to suppress the PKK in northern Iraq,”stressing that the president strongly respects Iraq’s sovereignty.

He pointed out that the US has double standard policy towards Iraqi armed insurgents and US troops protect some armed militants such as the PKK rebels and MKO terrorists.

“Iraqi government is not able to resolve the crisis of the armed groups, because it has not power to control the whole country,”he concluded.

MKO’s Troublemaker

"Terrorists, mostly from Baathists and the members of terrorist MKO, try to divide Shia and Sunni muslims and to ignite the fire of clashes between Arabs, Kurds and Turkmens living in Dyala province," said Taha Dor’ Al-Sa’di, representative of Dyalah people in Iraqi parliament.

He pointed to the destructive role of MKO in the region, adding: "The former regime used this group to suppress the Kurds in the north and Shias in the south during 90s. After the ouster of regime, this organization took advantage of instability to boost its position in the country."

"The presence of this group in Iraq harms both Iran-Iraq relations and honor of Iraqis."

"Iraqi governing council approved a decision to expel the members of MKO from Iraq but the decision has not been executed yet. It’s now the time to put it into practice and expel the people who killed Iraqi people. As the representatives of Iraqi people, we will do our best to expel them although there are some in the parliament who back this group," he went on to say.

This member of Iraqi parliament also declared: "American forces don’t care about the security issues in Dyala province; this has raised questions because the terrorists in this province don’t target American forces anymore while tens of Iraqi citizens are being killed each day. US forces support professional terrorists and when they Iraqi security forces arrest such people, Americans release them."

"Iraqi Unity Coalition has asked the parliament to form a committee to prevent violence and improve security situation in Dyala because massacring people, terror and kidnapping happens on daily basis and more than 1000 families have left this region," he added.

Then he referred to the death of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi and said: "His successor is also in this province and more than 1000 terrorists, including Baathists and MKO members, have scattered around the region conducing terrorist operations."

"There are good relations between the followers of different religions in various parts of Dyala and tribal people try to prevent terrorism."
