Speaking to reporters here in Tehran today, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said that the attack was carried out inside Iraqi soil and”Iran has nothing to do with it”. He said that the move is part of the MKO’s efforts to portray itself as an oppressed community …
Ali al-Moussawi, an Iraqi government spokesman, denied that Baghdad was involved, saying the accusation from the M.E.K. “is not the first time when they blame us for everything.”The United Nations demanded that the Iraqi government open an investigation, saying in a statement that Martin Kobler, the United Nations special representative for Iraq, “called on the Iraqi authorities to immediately ensure medical care…
Expressing disapprobation of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq group’s presence in Iraq, head of the Iraqi parliamentary committee on martyrs and political prisoners said that, if compelled, they would extradite MKO members to Iran.
Regardless of all these accusations and who the real directors of the attacks might be, MKO/MEK/PMOI is the side that best benefits from the bloodshed. In fact, the leaders are not at all looking for the responsible to accuse; whoever they are, they have served MKO in the best way to deserve its thanks. It makes no difference for Rajavi who is sacrificed from which side; the emphasis is on the applied brutality to claim victims. And for MKO, the more victims the better.
..I strongly condemn this attack,”Mr. Guterres said, noting that the residents of Camp Liberty are asylum seekers undergoing the refugee status determination process and thus entitled to international protection.”This is a despicable act of violence.””I call on the Iraqi Government to do everything it can to guarantee security to the residents,”he said.”The perpetrators must be found and brought to justice without delay,”…

The United Nations called for an immediate investigation and said monitors were following up on the deaths, the first confirmed fatalities as a result of violence at the group’s new camp since they moved there last year. The MEK aka MKO/PMOI, whose leadership is based in Paris, said in a statement…
Martin Kobler, the top UN official in Iraq, told Al Jazeera that he was”shocked”by the attack.”These people have to be protected,”he said, calling on Iraqi authorities to”promptly conduct an investigation”. …
According to reports, almost all former members of the MKO/MEK/PMOI who fled the group camps in Iraq could manage to resettle whether in Iran or in European countries. It sounds that leaving Iraq is not so difficult that the Rajavis could not relocate their members yet. Probably it’s not the matter of ability it’s the matter of will.
