… people of Halabja who on March 16th, 1988 suffered the worst chemical attacks committed by the Iraqi regime. On that day, 5,000 innocent civilians, 75% women and children, immediately perished. This was not the only chemical attack ordered by Saddam, it was just the worst
You have mentioned in your interview that the reason behind the proscription of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in Britain and other places is purely political and was made in relation to the interests of the Iranian Regime. This might be true, but what I would like to know is why the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation is still being kept on the lists of terrorist entities in almost every western country when these countries are engaged in a serious confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran?
The group played an effective role in people opposing campaign against the regime of Shah but after the fall of Shah the group challenged the newly-come to power Islamic Regime and called the people to go on strike and demonstration. But the people turned against them and thus the group which was left alone set out for terrorizing the individuals, bombing and execution.
On Saturday, IRNA reported that police had restored order in Zahedan, a town at the juncture of the borders of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Gunfire was heard after security forces blocked off streets near the bombers’ hideout. Police cut off the electricity to the housing complex, the semi-official FARS news agency said.
What follows is part of the details of the session quoted by Iraqi TV: – Prosecutor provided the court with a new audio tape in which Ali Hassan Al-majid talks about chemical weapons against the Kurds and promises to impose more restrictions on them, including the ban on speaking Kurdish.- Another audio tape revealed that Hassan Al-Majid was planning a new scenario, including chemical attacks on the Kurds, gathering them in specified locations and then targeting them with chemical weapons.
Reported by Time on December 14 to confirm the EU’s stance on the ruling of the Court of First Instance, Jesus Carmona, spokesman for the European Union’s anti-terrorism authority, enunciated that”we’re going to comply with the court and publicly state the reasons for any group or individual on it”. For sure, the EU proscribed MKO on sound reasons, but we consider it our responsibility to give some details on the terrorist nature of MKO.
Shirvan Vaeli’s comment came after MKO had announced that they had formed”National Front for Saving Dyalah”. The national front the group referred to was, in fact, a novel alliance with Saddam loyalists and other insurgents that could not abide a free and democratic Iraq. Being well aware of MKO’s terrorist nature, Iraqis have no need to be informed of the group’s terrorist activities by the Iranian side and the group’s alliance with other uncompromising Iraqi groups. ..
Iraqi and US joint forces rushed to the house of Adnan Al-Dulaimi, one of MKO’s big supporters who has wide secret ties with this group and has been elected due to the financial aids of the group, and found a number of bombed cars and a large cache of explosives in his house.
Shahab Al-Ghare Losi writes:
“Ten audio tapes have been obtained from the house of Ali Hassan Al-Majid- known as Chemical Ali- on the operation of Anfal against Kurds and also on the suppression of 1991’s uprising. These tapes are about the meetings of Chemical Ali on the issue of Kurdistan.”In one of the tapes, dated April 15, 1988, Chemical Ali says:
“None of the villages should remain in this region until the next summer. We should transfer the people to townships and camps and control them….
The Bulletin indicates the mortar attacks and bombings of Iranian cities resulted in the injury and martyrdom of innocent civilians and damage to their property. MKO claimed the responsibility for those operations by issuing press releases following the incidents. This bulletin as an illustrated, documentary evidence of MKO/MEK/PMOI atrocities, works well to illuminate facts on the terrorist nature of MKO and the cause for its proscription as a terrorist organization.
