The MEK Expulsion from Iraq

The Necessity of MKO’s Expulsion from Iraq

It’s really great to hear the strong voice that MKO should leave Iraq.

They interfere in Iraq’s internal affairs and we, Iraqis should not give them opportunity to do this. When I heard that news, I was proud and I said to myself that "finally, we have a powerful government that respects itself and the people; a government that is able to make decisions in order to get rid of Saddam’s remnants. Saddam gathered elements of MKO to occupy our country and gave them privileges, which we were deprived of so that we had to go to other countries."

We believe that recent news as a good step and congratulate all Iraqi officials over that. It’s good to see that justice prevails.

MKO’s comments on rejecting Iraqi government (published on Sotaliraq website) indicate that these people don’t respect elected government. Nearly 3000 of them eat and sleep here in our country and speak insolently.

We know the source of these comments, so we ask Mr. Adnan Al-Dulaimi to accept the request of Iraqi and let these people be expelled from our country.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Support for MKO? Expect Disaster!

The MKO, which is totally different from what it claims, once had the following organization:

 

– Leadership, chief and different councils,

– President in exile (Maryam Rajavi, wife of Massoud Rajavi),

– Organized army (leader and chief of staff) which enjoyed heavy weapons and equipments including helicopter, tank, artillery, modern automatic guns, … besides thousands of trained soldiers with hundreds of female soldiers leading groups of men,

– Wide financial sources,

– Strong presence around the world, including Paris where Maryam Rajavi and a number of MKO leaders live,

– Lots of supporters across the world,

 

This group was very close to the former regime of Iraq for a long time so that Saddam Hussein gave them several camps. Former officials provided them with unlimited support for the group. All this was a result of believing in the old idea that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

The army of MKO had several camps across Iraq with the support of Saddam Hussein. The MKO, an Iranian opposition group, has been listed as a terrorist group by the US and EU.

The ideology of MKO is a mixture of Marxism and Shiite Islam. They had bloody clashes with Shah of Iran in which many of the group’s members were killed.

The organization continued its terrorist attacks in Tehran after revolution and even after the election of Mohammed Khatami as president. One of the major terrorist operations by the MKO was the assassination of General Ali Sayyad Shirazi, a senior Iranian official, in 1999.

The MKO was found in 1965 and after going to exile in early 80s, NCRI was founded as its political branch. At first, other opposition groups like Iran’s Democratic party and former Iranian president Bani Sadr joined the council but they left it soon after.

After France expelled the group in 1986, Massoud Rajavi reached an agreement with Iraqi commanders and they settled in Iraq. They established National Liberation Army with the help of Saddam and according to the International Institute of London’s Strategic Researches, 15000, mostly women, joined the MKO at that time. They had 160 tanks and M8 helicopters.

MKO rebels were trained in a closed system so that the members had no personal lives and the leader of the group was considered a charisma. It’s amazing that no news has been published about Massoud Rajavi after the US invasion to Iraq.

 

Facts on the MKO

This organization was founded in 1960 by a group of university students. Being influential, the group gradually turned to the biggest Iranian opposition group. The history of the group is full of opposition to the West and operations against Iranian interest inside and outside the country.

During 70s, the MKO conducted many terrorist attacks and killed American civilians and military contractors in Iraq. It also backed take over of US embassy in Iran.

In 1986, the organization was expelled from France and it settled in Iraq. Backed financially and logistically by Saddam, the MKO took part in suppressing Kurds and other minorities in Iraq’s Kurdistan and served Saddam Hussein as a powerful army.

In April 1992, it conducted attacks against Iranian embassies in 13 countries and extended its attacks inside Iran, including 3 terrorist operation in January 1998, which led to the death of 3 civilians and former head of Evin prison, Assadollah Lajevardi.

 

In April 1999, Iran’s Army chief of Staff, General Sayyad Shirazi was assassinated by the group. Following this, European countries listed the MKO as a terrorist organization and froze its assets.

 

The organization claims to have stopped its terrorist operations since 2001 and that it no longer conducts terrorist attacks against Iran from Iraq. However, it’s still a terrorist organization in Britain and the US. Even after Europe’s court of First Instance issued ruling in the favor of the organization, the spokesman of the court warned about dangers of lifting the group’s name from the list.

 

Now the questions are:

What’s the purpose of changing policy toward the MKO? Isn’t it a terrorist group? Isn’t it that its properties have been frozen? So, why are some people supporting it?

No one knows, there may be new plots based on supporting the group! Everyone should be aware that supporting this terrorist group can have disastrous consequences.

The MEK Expulsion from Iraq

Iraqi Official and Terrorist Logic

Day by day, more facts are revealed about the people involved in Iraqi political issues and now people understand that they have tied their political thought and will to those whose behaviors result from terror and terrorism. Such contradictions have turned Iraq to the center of disasters and this can be viewed in plots against Iraqis.  Sometime ago, Khalf Al-Alian, member of "Accord Front", took part in a TV debate with Ali Al-Dabbagh (Iraqi government’s spokesperson) on Al-Jazeera news channel to discuss the issue of MKO’s presence in Iraq. He defended MKO’s presence in Iraq and Dabbagh insisted that the group should be expelled from the country. Dabbagh had some reasons like: MKO’s terrorist organization and has committed terrorist acts and that MKO’s presence in Iraq contradicts the Iraqi constitution, which bans the presence and activities of terrorist groups in Iraq, and that the presence of this group is against the policies of government in its efforts to establish good relations with Iran. Despite these reasons given by Dabbagh, Khalf Al-Ayan expressed his opposition to the expulsion of MKo from Iraq and called it a humanitarian organization. He claimed that giving shelter to exiles from neighboring countries and giving shelter to criminals and terrorists, particularly those involved in suppressing 1991’s uprising, was legal! This very group executed anyone who escaped the fronts during Iran-Iraq war. The comments of Al-Ayan were made in response to the services of MKO for him (they paved the way for his trip to Europe and his meetings with EU representatives).  It seems that Al-Ayan has forgotten his own controversial comments in which he said Iraqi Shiites were Iranian Safawis and that MKO (hypocrites) are from Safawis and they are Shiites! How long would he continue to talk nonsense?

Jordan

MKO’s Ties with Jordanian Intelligence Service

Jordan expands its ties with the MKO and King Bandar of Saudi has decided to support this group and Jondallah in Baluchistan.

Security guards of Amman international airport have received an order by Jordanian interior ministry to offer facilities to those MKO members who have passports from Iraq or other countries. This decision was made during last months, after there were cooperation and close ties between this organization and Jordanian security services on Iran-Iraq issues.

According to sources close to Accord Front in Jordanian capital, MKO has opened an official base in Amman after CIA advised Jordanians to increase their cooperation with the group.

There’s no doubt that most of meetings and ties between the MKO leaders and members of Accord Front are being held in Amman. These very meetings led to the recent visit of Sunni delegation (headed by Accord Front and Al-Hiwar Al-Watani Front) to Brussels. Adnan Al-Dulaimi, Zafer Alaani, Khalf Al-Ayan and Sale Al-Motlaq were among the 12 who comprised the delegation. Eight of them stayed in Germany and Netherlands to seek political asylum.

Sources close to Accord Front in Amman say that the Jordanian officials pay equal attention to the MKO and Iraqi government opponents.

Some diplomats of Persian Gulf in Amman stressed that this cooperation with the MKO is not limited to Jordan and that Saudi Arabia has also decided to support all Iranian opposition groups in order to be able to decrease Iran’s political and military influence in the region. The MKO and Jondallah are of these groups. The latter is the one active in the Iranian Baluchistan region. According to these diplomats, King Bandar Bin Soltan from Saudi Arabia has been personally involved in making such decision. In this regard, Riyadh received a high delegation of MKO in December. Diplomats say that Americans have encouraged Riyadh to establish more ties with the MKO and that they are lobbying for similar purposes in Europe. Recently, Washington has convinced Norwegians to allow the group to open an office in Oslo and Maryam Rajavi, the leader of group, visited Oslo last year.

The opponents of Iraqi government based in Amman say that Saudi embassy in Amman is giving more time to the MKO and it seems that they have a better chance to be supported by Saudis. "Saudi embassy in Jordan is considered one of the most important Sadui embassies in the region and it is in charge of security and intelligence operations," they said.

Political analysts believe that Saudi Arabia’s approach to the MKO is not new but what’s new is King Bandar’s relationship with the group to interfere in Iraq-Iran affairs. Despite the opposition of Iraq’s public opinion and this country’s officials, this organization is still present in Iraq as an opposition organization and American occupiers support it. Meanwhile, despite Iraqi MPs decision the group should be expelled from Iraq, Americans support the group and like Saudis believe that the group is a threat to the security of Islamic Republic.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO, Sectarian Terrorist Organization

The presence of Iranian opposition group, Mojahedin-e Khalq, has had negative consequences for Iraqis.

This organization was used as a sectarian group against Iraqis and Saddam Hussein turned them into a suppression force against Iraqi people. In 1991, we witnessed the role of this organization in Shaabanieh uprising against the Kurds. The elements of this group are known for their brutality. In 1991, during the assassination of senior religious leader Seyed Mohammed Sadeq al-Sadr, they were used again as a suppression tool.

The MKO has been designated as a terrorist organization and the stances of the US and Europe on this group are similar. As it served the goals and interests of Saddam’s regime in the past, it is now acting to deepen tribal differences. Some Imperialist forces have tied their hopes to this terrorist group and even use this organization against Shiites of Iraq and Iran; they use it for illegal operations.

This group has an active role in destabilizing the security and supporting terrorists. For instance, we can discuss the status of Dyala province. this organization is playing a role in Iraq’s instability and it has conducted many crimes against Iranians. Even, tribal leaders and sheikhs in Dyala can’t stand this group anymore. What should be dealt with carefully is the plan they’re trying to achieve in Iraq: sectarianism and plotting against Iraqis. For example, the group held a conference under the name of supporting Iraqi Sunnis with coordination of European representatives, but the European sides didn’t take part in the conference.

While the Iraqi government tries to destroy paramilitary and armed groups in order to secure the country and apply the law, the presence of a foreign armed militia in Iraq, which has military teams and plots against Iraqis, is a threat to our nation.

The comments of Mr. Ali Al-Dabbagh, Iraqi government spokesperson, on the threats of this organization and the decision of the government to expel this group show that the government is well aware of the dire consequences of the presence of this terrorist group in Iraq and that they are determined to establish security for Iraqis.

The response of NCRI to the comments of Mr. Dabbagh is funny and sarcastic. This response includes illogical sentences:


"The legitimacy of MKO’s presence comes out of Geneva Convention"!

We answer: "Which law legitimizes the interferences of a terrorist group in our internal affairs? Which law opens their hands to erase our national figures and which law allows them to kill our children?"

Iraqi government should discuss the case of this organization and expose the crimes they did against the Iraqis so that world public opinion is aware. It should also do its best to expel the group from Iraq. Iraqi parliament should take this case and decide about it. If we ask our neighbors, including Iran, not to interfere in our internal affairs, we should first expel this organization since its presence in Iraq is interference in Iranian affairs.

The presence of this organization in Iraq is against all laws and regulations and also against the national interests of Iraqis.

Adnan, Al-Alyan and Alaani Cry for MKO!

What forced me to write this were the cries of Adnan, Al-Alyan and Alaani for the MKO in Brussels.

First, this double behavior these people are following will have nothing except destruction of Iraq and Iraqis, including Shiites and Sunnis, and only helps their personal interests. As everyone knows, the MKO is an Iranian organization and besides, it has been categorized as a terrorist group. Now, what’s the mystery of relations of Adnan, Al-Alyan, Zafer and Al-Zari with this organization that they cry for it and claim of Iran’s interference in Iraq through Shiite militia? Why do they claim that Shiites are Safawis not Iraqis? Why do they cry for the elements of MKO while they’re in fact very Safawis in Iraq?

Is there anything except the fact that these remnants want to destroy Iraq with every possible means? They would do it even if they have to sell Iraq and Iraqis with the cheapest price and set fire to the public in order to revenge for their former master. These people tried to sell Iraq in their deals with Israelis, the US and some neighboring countries. Their last card could be the MKO. This would be their losing card not winning card but they consider it a boost to their sick bodies.

What’s the reason for these people, who are of Iraqi Sunnis, to cry for the MKO. This group includes people who plot for killing and beheading Iraqis.

Our government should always be vigilant about the dangers of MKO criminals, who were used by Saddam Hussein in killing our Kurd brothers during 1991 uprising. These traitors were armed to the teeth, used modern weapons, had enough experience to run the war, agents of Estekhbarat monitored their training and their weapons and their ties with the former regime was complex and strong; I’m sure that they already have cooperation with terrorist groups in Iraq. They’re being supported by the people who call themselves”the enemies of Safawis”.

This group should be dealt with cautiously. It should be noted that if their weapons were transferred to terrorists like Dulaimi and Zari, a disaster would happen to Iraq and Shiites in particular.

The MEK Expulsion from Iraq

Time to Expel MKO From Iraq

Following the downfall of former regime, new Iraqi officials should expel the MKO from Iraq.

During Saddam’s rule, this group acted as its army and he used them to pressurize Tehran. Following the ouster of former regime, the group is playing the same role for the Bush administration. The US government also wants to use this group as a political leverage against Iran as well as in bloody clashes inside Iraq.

Danger is not limited to this. It has become more dangerous. This organization has returned to its previous status and there is coordination between the members of MKO and remnants of former regime so that with the lobby of MKO in Europe, orphans of former regime have gone to the EU.

Now the question is "why the MKO members, who have good ties with some MPs and are able to link terrorist Baathists to the EU, can’t get permanent refugee status for the members in Iraq? Since their presence in Iraq is illegal and unacceptable, and with respect to the fact that the presence of the group causes many political problems, their stay in Iraq is no longer bearable.

The sympathy of former regime supporters for the group and asking for their presence in Iraq, makes their presence in Iraq more suspicious and dangerous, particularly when Baathists and Wahabis relentlessly talk about the dangers of Iranians and Iraqi Safawis, with MKO blaming Iran for the deaths of Sunnis as if the members of the MKO are neither Iranians nor Safawis!

Isn’t it true that Baathists’ sympathy for the MKO and their requests for the group’s presence in Iraq are enough evidences on the old cooperation and coordination between the group and extremist Baathists and other terrorists?

Therefore, Iraqi government should take necessary measures to expel the MKO from Iraq so that they could freely go to the countries they like.

Adnan Al-Dulaimi, The Master of Civil Wars

When Zarqawi, Al-Qaeda’s number one in Iraq, was killed Iraqi security forces found the mobile phone number of Adnan Al-Dulaimi, Tareq Al-Hashemi and Hares Al-Zari at the site. Mowafq Al-Rubaii, Iraqi security advisor, announced at that time that the government had found precious documents. However, the Iraqi government was pressed by Americans not to pursue the issue. Some Iraqi official preferred not to go on with the case in order to keep their posts.

Also, a while ago, US forces entered Dulaimi’s house and found 8 bombed cars, a workshop equipped with devices for planting explosives and also fake ID cards. On the other hand, Dulaimi’s grandson admitted that their targets belonged to Shiites including regions such as Al-Jahad, Al-Hurriah and Al-Aamel. On 26.9.2006, Dulaimi’s personal bodyguard, Khazir Farhan, who was closely cooperating with Al-Qaeda revealed the suicide bombings with explosive belts in Al-Khazra district.

Dulaimi’s comments on supporting the terrorist MKO, which has been involved in killing Iraqis during Shaabaniah uprising in 1991, prove that accusations on his support for terrorism are true.

Dulaimi had claimed that Iraqi Shiites who accuse the MKO of terrorism, are in fact Iranians.

He said: "MKO, based in Iraq, is a political group and is not terrorist group in any way. According to the laws of Iraq, MKO’s rights should be respected and Iraq’s regulations should protect them. We hope Iraqi officials understand this. I ask God Almighty to help us in our support for the guests of Iraq. Our moral values force us to support them. We should protect them and I don’t believe that they have negative impact on Iraq’s situation."

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

Coalition of Zionists, Wahabis and Baathists

Events and developments indicate that the idea of Salafis’ Wahabism, backed and promoted by Saudis and Wahabis in Persian Gulf region, is one of the main forces behind terrorism in the world.

Al-Qaeda, Taliban, followers of Zarqawi and suicide bombers in Iraq and all over the world are all the outcomes of this terrorist thought. If we deny this fact how can we interpret the terrorist operations of Wahabis in mosques and markets, particularly in Shiite districts?

If we search the world from the East to the West, we won’t be able to find anyone who backs the idea of performing terrorist operations in Shiite areas except Wahabis themselves who believe that killing Shiites is necessary and holy act! Extremist Wahabis consider all Shiites, without any exception, as unbelievers, hypocrites and evil the killing of whom is necessary in their religion. Leaders of Wahabism believe that Shiites are apostates and that they should be killed before Jihad is declared against other unbelievers. There’s no doubt that the enemies of Islam back this idea so as to prevent the spread of Islam in the world and to ruin the face of Islam.

Evil Coalition

So, the Zionists and Mosad would probably use these irrational people to conduct bombings and operations in Iraq. Zionists have an old enmity towards Shiites, who forced them t experience the taste of failure in the war on Hizballah.

Presence of Zionist analysts in Al-Jazeera TV channel and their stances against Shiites and insisting on getting rid of them is not surprising because the Zionists and Wahabis are on one side together.

The coalition of Zionists, Wahabis and Baathists and a number of Arab leaders is to destroy Shittes and push them to the sidelines.

This coalition is not new since according to the reports, Baathists came to power by Americans the history of this coalition returns back to a time before Shiites taking power in Iraq, the victory of Hizballah and Iran’s nuclear developments.

The role of mercenaries of Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization also should be considered. This treacherous group, ready to sell itself, is angry from Iraqis, Shiites and Kurds and works hard alongside Wahabis and Baathists to promote terrorism. This group is a tool in the hand of Mossad and America.

Iraqis Welcome Revelations on MKO

Finally, the Iraqi government announced that it has "undeniable evidence proving that the MKO trains terrorists and takes part directly in terrorist attacks against Iraqi people".

Like all Iraqis, I also wonder why the issue had not been revealed before.

Earlier, we had warned the government on the activities of this wretched terrorist organization. In this regard, please look at part of my article on 10.28.2006 that was published by several Iraqi websites.

In that article, I warned the government on its silence about the crimes and illegal activities of this organization:

"I’m surprised because the Iraqi Governing Council ordered the expulsion of this organization from Iraq but it has not been executed. Here, we remind the government of Iraq that they should execute the order and expel the hypocrites from out country. The elements of this group support the remnants of Saddam’s ousted regime and back them militarily and logistically; MKO trains them how to use different kinds of weapons. The government should expel them from Dyalah".

Now the government has emphasized that it is going to act against the MKO. Although too late, it should be appreciated. In this regard, we warn the government on the suspicious activities of Adnan al-Dulaimi and his son. He is the leader of terrorists. He should be arrested and tried.
