Dialogues

Tanks gifted to Mojahedin by Saddam returned to Iraqi Army

A report by Kuwait-based newspaper Al-Rai alaam on the weaponry of Iraq’s news army included some parts about what happened to the tanks of Mojahedin-e Khalq that were given to the group by Saddam Hussein.

The report points to Iraqi army’s use of Russian T55 tanks and says:

"Saddam Hussein had given these tanks to the MKO as gift. The organization, along with Iraqi forces, used the tanks to attack Iranians. Following the US invasion to Iraq, these tanks were confiscated and transferred to Iraq’s new army."

"Three years have passed since the US attacked Iraq but the army has not been equipped with new weapons yet. They still use arms and weapons that have remained from Saddam and his mercenaries. These weapons include T72 and T55 tanks, which were used by the MKO," the report adds.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

U.S. citizen found in Iraq charged with supporting terror group-MEK

LOS ANGELES A naturalized U.S. citizen from Iran who was found in Iraq was indicted on charges of providing support to a terrorist organization that seeks to overthrow the current Iranian regime, federal prosecutors said.

Zeinab Taleb-Jedi, 51, was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury in New York on one count of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. She faces up to 15 years in federal prison if convicted.

Taleb-Jedi went to Iraq in 1999 to attend a training camp run by the Mujahedin-e Khalq, or MEK, the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles said in a statement.

"During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Taleb-Jedi was discovered by coalition forces in an MEK training camp called Ashraf Base," about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad, the statement said.

U.S. forces took control of the camp and sent many members back to Iran on condition that they defect from MEK, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office. He said Taleb-Jedi was in Iraq from August 1999 until this past March, when she agreed to return to the United States.

"An investigation reveals that she played an active role at the camp," Mrozek said.

An arraignment date has not been set, Mrozek said. She was assigned a federal public defender in New York and was released on bond.

Taleb-Jedi was being prosecuted in New York because her plane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport on March 31 upon her return from Iraq. The case was being handled by Los Angeles-based prosecutors who have been involved in MEK-related investigations since the 1990s.

Taleb-Jedi immigrated to the United States from Iran in 1978 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1996, the government said. Her aliases include Nayer Taleb-Jedi or Nire Taleb-Jedi, according to the two-page indictment.

The U.S. attorney’s office did not release any information on the woman’s occupation.

The group was founded in the 1960s and moved to Iraq in the early 1980s to base its activities against Iran’s government. The group had sided with Iraq in its 1980-88 war against Iran.

The State Department says the MEK groups were funded by Saddam Hussein, supported the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and are responsible for the deaths of Americans in the 1970s.

But there have been attempts in recent years by some members of the U.S. Congress advocating the group’s removal from the list because of its stance against the Iranian regime and because it does not pose a direct threat to the U.S.

MKO’s political recruits still battling against British interests

Excerpts:

Brian Binley (Northampton South, Conservative)

I notice that the Foreign Secretary did not touch on the question of external resistance to the Iranian regime. Some time ago, the Americans gave protected persons status to the Mujaheddin of Iran in Camp Ashraf. Later, the German courts reconfirmed the rights of political asylum for Iranian refugees, whose status had previously been suspended. Only 11 days ago, the French lifted all restrictions on the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Is it not now time to urge the Home Office to take positive steps to improve relations with the Iranian resistance movement, both for their sake and in our national interest?

Margaret Beckett (Secretary of State, Foreign & Commonwealth Office)

I am confident that the Home Office keeps those issues under review. I will, of course, draw the hon. Gentleman’s observations to its attention…

Phyllis Starkey (Milton Keynes South West, Labour)

I was part of the recent Inter-Parliamentary Union delegation to Iran. Everybody whom we met made it very clear that the MEK, to which the hon. Member for Northampton, South (Mr. Binley) referred, is widely regarded as a terrorist group that was funded by Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. They said that, if we wanted a productive dialogue with Iran about its nuclear policy, the last thing that we, the Americans or any other EU member state should do is suggest that the terrorists in the MEK should be rehabilitated.

Margaret Beckett (Secretary of State, Foreign & Commonwealth Office)

My hon. Friend makes a very interesting point, based on her recent experience in Iran. As I told the hon. Member for Northampton, South (Mr. Binley), the international community’s overriding priority is with the present Government of Iran. We believe that our proposals are very fair and very much to the advantage of Iran’s Government and people. We hope that the proposals will be considered speedily and fully.

Iran

2. Mr. Brian Binley (Northampton, South) (Con): What recent discussions she has had with her US counterpart on the political situation in Iran. [80211]

27 Jun 2006 : Column 116

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Margaret Beckett): I discuss Iran frequently with Dr. Rice. When we met in Vienna on 1 June, we agreed an imaginative set of proposals with our French, German, Russian and Chinese counterparts and Javier Solana. These offer Iran a way forward to resolve international concerns over its nuclear activities while enabling it, if it chooses, to develop a modern civil nuclear power programme. In making those proposals, we have again shown flexibility and commitment to a diplomatic solution.

Iran faces a clear choice. I hope that it will take the positive path being extended, and I look forward to an early response.

Mr. Binley: I notice that the Foreign Secretary did not touch on the question of external resistance to the Iranian regime. Some time ago, the Americans gave protected persons status to the Mujaheddin of Iran in Camp Ashraf. Later, the German courts reconfirmed the rights of political asylum for Iranian refugees, whose status had previously been suspended. Only 11 days ago, the French lifted all restrictions on the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Is it not now time to urge the Home Office to take positive steps to improve relations with the Iranian resistance movement, both for their sake and in our national interest?

Margaret Beckett: I am confident that the Home Office keeps those issues under review. I will, of course, draw the hon. Gentleman’s observations to its attention. Our chief concern at present is with the present Government of Iran and the considerable desire of the international community to introduce successful negotiations with them to restore confidence in their intentions.

Mr. Jim McGovern (Dundee, West) (Lab): What assessment has the Foreign Secretary made of the level of support in Iran for nuclear power or nuclear weapons? What sympathy is given to public opinion in Iran, the articulation of which seems to provide the President with his mandate?

Margaret Beckett: It is a little hard to analyse that from outside Iran. There appears to be a good measure of popular support for the Iranian Government’s assertions about their rights, which are understood. Obviously, there is a desire in Iran for access to civil nuclear power, and those of us dealing with the issue internationally believe very strongly that that is a clear possibility if the country abides by the proposals that we have set out. We hope that that will convince the Iranian Government that entering negotiations is in their interest as well the wider international community’s.

Mr. Crispin Blunt (Reigate) (Con): The rather uncomfortable implication of the Foreign Secretary’s words is that Iran faces a fundamental choice between peace and conflict. Will the right hon. Lady make it clear that the situation is not as stark as that, and that a policy of diplomatic engagement will continue to be followed by the UK and the powers referred to in her answer to the original question?

27 Jun 2006 : Column 117

Margaret Beckett: It would be understandable if the hon. Gentleman had not had an opportunity to study the exact words that we used in Vienna. The statement then was made on a united basis, by all participants. Our clear offer to Iran was that we were prepared to resume negotiations if it resumed the suspension of enrichment. However, if Iran does not feel able to do that, the action being considered in the Security Council is something that we would have to consider resuming.

Dr. Phyllis Starkey (Milton Keynes, South-West) (Lab): I was part of the recent Inter-Parliamentary Union delegation to Iran. Everybody whom we met made it very clear that the MEK, to which the hon. Member for Northampton, South (Mr. Binley) referred, is widely regarded as a terrorist group that was funded by Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. They said that, if we wanted a productive dialogue with Iran about its nuclear policy, the last thing that we, the Americans or any other EU member state should do is suggest that the terrorists in the MEK should be rehabilitated.

Margaret Beckett: My hon. Friend makes a very interesting point, based on her recent experience in Iran. As I told the hon. Member for Northampton, South (Mr. Binley), the international community’s overriding priority is with the present Government of Iran. We believe that our proposals are very fair and very much to the advantage of Iran’s Government and people. We hope that the proposals will be considered speedily and fully.

Mr. Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold) (Con): Does the Foreign Secretary agree that the UN announcement of 6 June was remarkable for its unanimity, especially given that it included China and Russia? Has she had any indication, either from her colleagues in the US Administration or from Tehran, that the proposals are receiving positive approval? They are comprehensive and complex, so should we not give Iran time to respond? If it makes a concrete response, would not that be a positive sign that we could move away from confrontation? That would benefit the whole world, but especially the people of Iran.

Margaret Beckett: The hon. Gentleman is right that the proposals are both comprehensive and complex, but that is why we are suggesting negotiation. Concern would arise if it appeared that we were entering into a period of negotiation about negotiations. I am sure that he will know that the indications made to us, publicly as well as privately, by the Iranian Government are that they see ambiguities in the proposals. We are keen to ensure that any ambiguities are resolved. We continue to press the Iranian Government for a further meeting between Javier Solana and colleagues, and Larijani. I hope that such a meeting will take place in the near future.

Meeting with Ms. Rachel Litman

Meeting with Ms. Rachel Litman a high ranking member of State Department’s Delegation

On Tuesday, October 9th, the representatives of Habilian Association in a meeting with Ms. Rachel Litman a high ranking member of DOS’s delegation, describing the terror issues in Iran, explained the objectives of the association and the activities done by that. During the meeting, Mr. Hashemi Nejad and Ms. Litman talked together.

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

Thanks for your time. As you know violence and terrorism is happening all over the world everyday. The terrorism of which our country is one of the victims. We are a group of families and children of those who have been killed by a criminal terrorist group “Mujahedin-e-Khalq- MEK. We have formed a group to demonstrate the dimension of MEK’s crimes and have collected a large number of documents and evidences on the assassinations made by MEK.

Ms. Rachel Litman:

I’m glad to talk with you and I’m sorry for the terrorist events happened in your country killing the innocent people.

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

When your country along with Western countries came to Middle East with the goal of removing terrorism, it seemed that this disaster would be eradicated from the world. As a survivor of terrorism victims, I got happy of your country’s action, but unfortunately the action ended with dividing the terrorists and protecting them. According to the State Department’s report of 1994, the MEK has killed thousands of innocent people and you are surely informed that a few of them were from your country.

Ms. Rachel Litman:

The group has been restricted and disarmed by US and they donâ€™t have the right to operate and they are designated as a terrorist organization.

Do you claim that the group is under our protection?

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

The presence of MEK in Iraq while the Iraqi people and government detest them so much (because of their crimes against this country) is absolutely because of the US support of them in order to use them in future. This is the main reason for American support of MEK.

Does your country divide the terrorists into good and bad? Donâ€™t you think that your dual behavior toward our father’s killers caused MKO to find a safe heaven and lobby in US congress and parliament freely? Why do the terrorists contact your representatives and congressmen so freely? How can you justify the support for such terrorist in a country that has designated them as terrorist?

The double standard of your country toward terrorism caused MEK members to contact Human Rights Council in the UNand even lobby that place.

I have the background and speeches made by them in support of terror and also the verdict issued by Interpol to arrest them that I will provide you with some other documents.

Ms. Rachel Litman:

Do you want them to be tried? You mean they must be brought into trial in US or another country or by UN?

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

Our goal is to fight terrorism and terrorist thinking. We don’t want the other children like us miss their fathers due to the ambitions of some criminals who have killed our people and also their own members.

Ms. Litman:

You should know that in order to achieve your goal, your presence in this meeting is effective. You should try to contact different people and groups describing your activities. Your country and what is happening in your country has the priority for us. Therefore we want the reflexes of your evidences and documents asking you to give information and documents to my government and send me in the future. I will surely transfer your documented evidences to concerned sources and I hope to be contacted with you in order to reflect any thing you give me.

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

Thanks for your favor. We will give you the documents we have brought and we will complete them in future through the contact way you put toward us.

At the end, some document, evidences and books on MEK presented to Ms. Litman.

3 conditions for granting refugee status to Mujahedeen

The report of meeting Director of UNHCR’s Middle East Affairs

Habilian association Secretary-General met and talked to Mr. Hamdi Bokhari, Director of UNHCR’s Middle East Affairs, in seat of this organization in Geneva on Friday morning 2006-09-29.

In this meeting Mr. Seyed Javad Hasheminejad, with appreciation of humanitarian activities of this institution, explained the association’s aims and activities and delivered the documents and cultural and investigative productions of association to him that use them for survey and holding in commission.

Mr. Hasheminejad said to Mr. Bokhary:

“We appreciated the role and cooperation of Red Cross in help to return of MKO’s members, who have requested to return their country, in a meeting with one of Red Cross authorities and also thank you and UN to make situation for penitent people of organization to return to their families.

Our group has been formed to struggle with terrorism routs and undoubtedly, one of its ways is remove of MKO terrorist base.

Some bodies claimed that should grant refugee status to Camp Ashraf but in our opinion, it cause to improve terrorism culture. We should make conditions as soon as possible that organization’s members return to their country. About 1500 of members have been returning to Iran during last 15 years and during recent one or two years about 500 persons from total of 4000 Camp Ashraf members, have separated. The fact is that 10 percent of them are criminal and others, according to Iran responsibles remarks, can return to join their families. Although our group was formed to meet hurt families rights from terrorism and follow terrorist crimes but because we also dealing with MKO issue, about 100 of members families contacted us and demanded to help them to return of their children during a last year. I transfer their message and concern to UNHCR. These concerns have increased specially after publish the reports of some sources, such as Human Rights Watch organization, based on torture and imprison of organization members about persons, who demanded to return the country.

I hope some conditions will be prepared for families that can enter Camp to visit their children without organization’s pressure and supervision.

But now, our aim of this meeting is for reveal some rumors about propagandas of Mujahedeen-e Khalq based on that UNHCR have a role in their present status and also know the commission’s future policy in relation to them”.

After that Mr. Hamdi Bokhari praised association’s annual functions and encouraged the members to continue and specially cooperation with commission.

Mr. Bokhari also appreciated and thanked Habilian association because of their attention to the organization members and their return and also that tried to visit and contact them; and at the end of meeting, delivered him different documents and evidences about organization and terror victims.

Director of UNHCR’s Middle East Affairs announced that:

“We don’t have agency, like Red Cross, in Iraq and I work with numbers of our assistances on this issue in here, we accepted that you come and we listen to all things. This is a great process and we are bound to grant refugee status to asylum seekers and our activities are also peaceful, but high commission grant refugee status just to citizenry but Ashraf is a belligerent city and we don’t give refugee to warriors. This method of us is for the entire world; at first they should give their request and the request should be personal not governmental and not be related to any organization but they don’t have these conditions in Ashraf.

These are official militants and being limited protected under Geneva Convention until determination of their status.

There is no difference before and after the war, Saddam might be gave them refugee but now is difference and related to Iraqi government that has given refugee to them. They are under support of US after the war and we didn’t have any interference in this case.

The members of MKO can get refugee status under three conditions:

1. Cutting ties with Mujahedeen-e Khalq organization

Have no relation with any military and terrorist organization

Giving pledge not to return to previous status, it means that Red Cross should guarantee that they don’t return to previous status and there not be any threat for countries.

We were also informed about return of most of them but don’t have any information about numbers of them, we talked about their return with territory countries, like Iran government that if members of this group exit and have conditions, we can help them.

We don’t have any agency in Iraq now, we are negotiating with US. Some of them came personally and gave the request and we are granting refugee status to them, in fact they separated of this group and their refugee is personal and we also speak about them not their organization.

They also themselves like to return but not to Iran and it’ll also change in future.

Your group can be fruit bearing in Iran, we also have close relation with Red Cross because they also try that their members return to their houses.

Your group can help us and Red Cross to return of them, we don’t have access to Iraq’s Red Cross. If they want to return, Red Cross should guarantee it that if they return to Iran, would not be changed to their previous status because if they are deported from Iraq, we wouldn’t know how should help them.

We have a great office in Iran and you can contact and help them to return of them. UN family also likes that terrorism being ended and the world become safe from their activities”.

“Do you know why organization members burned themselves and how people they are?” Mr. Bokhary asked in finally.

“They are unaware and ignorant people that became puppet of criminal leaders and the leaders make them do these actions to win international bodies’ attention and put pressure on humanist institutions.

Claim of granting refugee and some things like that by UN or Red Cross is also a trap that this organization tries to put the international bodies against Iraqi government and use this trap for several”. Mr. Hasheminejad replied

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Iranian-American indicted for attending terrorist training camp

A United States citizen was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), by attending an MEK training camp in Iraq.

Zeinab Taleb-Jedi was indicted by a federal grand jury in Brooklyn, New York. Taleb-Jedi, 51, lived in Herndon, Virginia before going to the MEK camp in Iraq in 1999. Taleb-Jedi immigrated to the United States from Iran in 1978, and she became a naturalized United States citizen in 1996.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Taleb-Jedi was discovered by coalition forces in an MEK training camp called Ashraf Base, which is 65 kilometers northwest of Baghdad. The MEK, also known as the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, was first designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the State Department in 1997.

MEK was founded in the 1960s by a group of college-educated Iranian leftists opposed to the country’s pro-Western ruler, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The group participated in the 1979 Islamic revolution that replaced the shah with a Shiite Islamist regime led by the Ayatollah Khomeini, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

But MEK’s ideology, a blend of Marxism and Islamism, put it at odds with the postrevolutionary government, and its original leadership was soon executed by the Khomeini regime.

In addition to its Paris-based members, MEK has a network of sympathizers in Europe, the United States, and Canada.

Taleb-Jedi will be arraigned on the one-count indictment in United States District Court in Brooklyn in approximately two weeks. The charge of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum possible penalty of 15 years in federal prison.

Taleb-Jedi is being prosecuted in New York because her plane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport upon her return from Iraq on March 31. The case is being prosecuted by Los Angeles-based attorneys who have been involved in MEK-related investigations since the 1990s.

This case was investigated by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation based in the Los Angeles Field Office.

MEK is officially designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States government and the group has lost three appeals (1999, 2001 and 2003) to the US government to be removed from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and its terrorist status was reaffirmed each time.

MEK has continued to protest worldwide against its listing, with the overt support of some US political figures in the Democrat Party.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

U.S. says woman in shelter terror chief

NEW YORK — An Iranian widow who became a naturalized U.S. citizen 10 years ago was a top official for a heavily armed, Iraq-based terrorist organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of Iran’s government, the U.S. government alleges in court documents.

The documents, obtained from Brooklyn court files on Monday, say two confidential informants in Iraq identified Zeinab Taleb-Jedi, 51, as a leader of the Mujahedeen Khalq. The group was identified in court papers as Mujahedin-e Khalq.

One of the informants told the FBI that Taleb-Jedi was on a council "responsible for making leadership decisions for the organization, including approving specific acts of terrorism" against Iran, the papers said.

Taleb-Jedi was arrested in March after flying from Jordan to Kennedy International Airport. A judge agreed to release her on $500,000 (euro394,166) bond. The court papers said she has been living at a women’s shelter in Manhattan.

Taleb-Jedi was among 200 Muhjahedeen Khalq members detained and questioned by the FBI in 2004 after U.S. military forces took over parts of Iraq once controlled by the group, the documents said. U.S. soldiers seized tanks, anti-aircraft weapons, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and more than 420,000 pounds of plastic explosives.

At the time, Taleb-Jedi allegedly told agents she "wholeheartedly supports the Mujahedin," the papers said.

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles, who have been investigating the group, announced last week that a grand jury in Brooklyn had indicted Taleb-Jedi on charges of providing support to a terrorist organization. If convicted, she faces up to 15 years in prison.

The group, also known as the People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, and its affiliates were deemed foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department in 1997. The designations bar anyone in the United States from providing material support.

The defendant, who was born in Iran, came to the United States on a student visa in 1978 to pursue a master’s degree in political science in Georgia, court papers said. She later moved to Queens before settling in Virginia, where she became a naturalized U.S. citizen.

In her FBI interview, Taleb-Jedi told agents her husband joined the Mujahedeen and went to Iraq in 1986. In 1999, after learning her husband was killed in a bombing, she "left her job, sold all her belongings and traveled" the group’s Ashraf Base in Iraq, 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Baghdad, documents said.

A call to her attorney on Monday was not immediately returned.

Arguing for her release at an arraignment, defense attorney Justine Harris said her client had returned to the United States to see her adult son and to seek medical treatment for a severe digestive ailment that had pushed her weight down to 95 pounds.

"This a middle-age woman with absolutely no record," the lawyer said.

The group was founded in Iran in the 1960s and moved to Iraq in the early 1980s to base its activities against Iran’s government. It sided with Iraq in its 1980-88 war against Iran.

The State Department says the groups were funded by Saddam Hussein, supported the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and are responsible for the deaths of Americans in the 1970s.
