Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan regional government Barham Salih rejected reports on presence of members of Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group in Kurdistan.”Basically, reports on presence of MKO members in Kurdistan are unfounded and sheer lie. We intend to establish joint security with our neighbors and we do not want that Kurdistan be turned into a region for enemies to reach their ends..
According to the CFR’s profile of Mujahideen-e-Khalq, the group has been engaged in terrorist activities for the better part of forty years dating back to before the Islamic revolution:The group has targeted Iranian government officials and government facilities in Iran and abroad, and during the 1970s, it attacked Americans in Iran. While the group says it does not intentionally target civilians, it has often risked civilian casualties. It routinely aims its attacks at government buildings in crowded cities..
…An official in Iraqi government said that the Iraqi government has done necessary measures to expel Mojahedin khalq group by the end of 2011. He said that the Mojahedin khalq will be expelled from Iraq because of their enmity towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and their crimes against Iraqi people including innocent people of the Kurdistan region. The Iraqi people had gathered around Ashraf Camp and called on the Iraqi government to deport the MKO.
Immediately after his successful flee, Mr. Jaafari joined families and other defectors settled near Ashraf gates. Having found himself in free world he enjoyed talking with families and his ex-comrade for hours..
… We do not know if those in the symposium were paid well or had a mission to accomplish, but they, for sure, and we know that the great challenge the world faces today is terrorism and Mojahedin has so far failed to prove any commitment to democracy. Consider that Obama’s Administration put trust in Tom Ridge’s urge to “delist MKO and show the world the United States is committed to its own values of freedom”. But, can he guarantee that MKO will also dedicate itself to democratic avenues that contradict its ideologically leftist inclination? …
The terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) had attempted to lure Iranian nuclear scientist Masoud Ali Mohammadi into cooperation, but it went for the option of assassination after Ali Mohammadi turned down the offer, his wife said..The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein ..
..That’s kind of a lie. Because the Supreme Court—again, to be specific, Chief Justice Roberts—has ruled that the law criminalizes”advocacy performed in coordination with, or at the direction of, a foreign terrorist organization.”And while Giuliani et. al. may convincingly argue that they did nothing at the direction of MEK, it’s hard to argue that his advocacy wasn’t coordinated with the group, seeing as how he was quoted as saying this at the rally:”For your organization to be described ..
What are Rudy Giuliani and several major Bush administration officials doing in Paris this week? Addressing a militant Iranian exile group that the U.S. government has designated a terrorist organization, of course…The four are not lone wolves in their support for MEK/MKO/PMOI. Last Friday, at a symposium organized by a group called ExecutiveAction ..
When I was released from Rajavi’s prison and found myself in free world, I was still mentally captured by Rajavi’s indoctrinations so all the timeI was challenging myself on the decision I had made. After some time when I saw Iraqis’ warm behavior, I changed my mind that had been manipulated by Rajavi for years. MKO leader had always tried to make a terrible enemy out of Iraqi new government..Now I am able to realize what is really going on in the world. It’s true that Rajavi stole 25 years of my life and now I’m not young anymore but I can use my experience..
… A member of the Iraqi parliament on Monday described the US as the stumbling block to the expulsion of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from his country, stressing that Washington strives to block any move made by the Baghdad government to this end.”The presence of Monafeqin (the hypocrites, as they are called in Iran) on Iraq’s soil violates the country’s constitution and the US is the main impediment to the expulsion of the terrorist group from Iraq’s soil,”Ali Alaq told FNA. He also underlined that the US is the key supporter and sponsor of the MKO. The Iraqi government has several times adopted measures to expel the Monafeqin grouplet from Iraq’s soil …
