Recent information obtained from Paris, London and the UAE reveal that MKO has come under the full mercenary of CIA by providing mental and human resources as well as intelligence help to America’s Central Intelligence Agency so as to play a major joint role in the production of chaos and insecurity inside Iran.
According to the database of Habilian Association (terror victims’ family) quoting from Nahrainnet, CIA began the formation of especial operations rooms at its offices in Washington and in Los Angeles, California, and outside the United States to deal with the aftermath of the election campaign for the presidency in Iran to develop practical programs to influence the course of elections events and destabilize the Islamic Republic.
In this regard CIA established crisis rooms in its Iran Chambers in the capitals of several countries, including some Persian Gulf countries like the UAE three months ago. A variety of suggestions about Iran’s presidential elections were sent to these rooms which were in charge of the implementation of the choices made by the specialists about how to deal with the elections in Iran.
One task of these rooms was to investigate the guidelines of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s rivals in order to discover the one whose ideas are most close to the U.S. ideas.
These rooms also worked to bring the theories of the overthrow of Iranian President Ahmadinejad to the reality in Iran.
The next stage in this process was to find the best ways of exploiting the results of the elections and to make the public believe that the organized chaos by the external factors was actually ordered by the losers of the elections and that the losers had organized attacking the facilities and security, economic and media centers and the intensification of sit-ins at universities, plazas and squares and mosques.
The slogan of these special operations rooms was "More gasoline on the firewood" and it was agreed between the experts of the American Central Intelligence Agency and elements of the People’s Mujahedeen Organization to create chaos in the streets and mosques and universities and prepare for a velvet revolution by using a specific color and to lay grounds for the collapse of the Islamic Republic or cause its weakness so as to accept the conditions of America and the West.
This procedure was set up the way if Mr. Ahmadinejad wins the elections, his victory would seem abnormal and a huge propaganda and extensive media hue and cry would show an incredible fraud in the election.
Tehran – Agents of the terrorist group Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) have been found and arrested among the agitators of Tehran streets in the past few days.
Arrested people have confessed that after being trained in Iraq, they have infiltrated into Iran and that they were guided and supported by MKO operation room in Britain.
Iranian television broadcast their confesses and their telephone conversations with a number of leaders of that group in which they ordered them for sabotage like setting fire on buses, gas stations, attacking the Bassiji barracks and demolishing public properties.
The commanding headquarter of the group which supports and finances terrorist actions in Iran and Iraq is located in the outskirt of Paris, France.
The British government removed the group’s name from the terrorist group list last year, so that they could expand their centers to guide operations in the country.
The terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) has reportedly played a major role in intensifying the recent wave of street violence in Iran.
Iranian security officials reported Saturday that they have identified and arrested a large number of MKO members who were involved in recent riots in Iran’s capital.
According to the security officials, the arrested members had confessed that they were extensively trained in Iraq’s camp Ashraf to create post-election mayhem in the country.
They had also revealed that they have been given directions by the MKO command post in Britain.
Street protests broke out after defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi rejected President Ahmadinejad’s decisive win in the June 12 election. His supporters have staged a series of illegal rallies ever since.
Iran’s deputy police commander, on Saturday, warned against the mass gatherings, asserting that those who engage in any such actions would be severely reprimanded.
Earlier on Saturday, MKO leader Maryam Rajavi had supported the recent wave of street violence in Iran during a Saturday address to supporters in Paris.
Rajavi had reportedly described the MKO terrorists as the real winners of the Iranian election.
The Mujahedin Khalq Organization is a Marxist guerilla group, which was founded in the 1960s.In the past two decades, MKO leaders have been resettled in the northern outskirts of Paris.
The terrorists are especially notorious for taking sides with former dictator Saddam Hussein during the war Iraq imposed on Iran (1980-1988).
The group masterminded a slew of terrorist operations in Iran and Iraq — one of which was the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 Iranian officials were killed.
A 2007 German intelligence report from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has identified the MKO as a "repressive, sect-like and Stalinist authoritarian organization which centers around the personality cult of [MKO leaders] Maryam and Masoud Rajavi".
Anne Singleton, an expert on the MKO and author of ‘Saddam’s Private Army’ explains that the West aims to keep the group afloat in order to use it in efforts to stage a regime change in Iran.
"With a new Administration in the White House a pre-emptive strike on Iran looks unlikely. Instead the MKO’s backers have put together a coalition of small irritant groups, the known minority and separatist groups, along with the MKO. These groups will be garrisoned around the border with Iran and their task is to launch terrorist attacks into Iran over the next few years to keep the fire hot," she explains.
"The role of the MKO is to train and manage these groups using the expertise they acquired from Saddam’s Republican Guard," Singleton added.
A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report also condemns the MKO for running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations. According to report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.
It is something clear that no nation advocates traitors’ claims for democracy as what MEK has long been doing, since the 1980s they collaborated with
Saddam Hussein during Iraq-Iran war parading in tanks that had been donated to them by Saddam Hussein, until now that their slick lobbying and propaganda machine operates in the West.
Alireza Jaafarzade, MEK’s spokesman in the US and the foreign affairs analyst of Fox News(!) says that he supports sanctions against Iran but he also wants to see that sanctions are coupled with political pressure.
While many in both US and Iran governments are looking for diplomatic solutions to normalize the relations, the MEK traitors are making a lot of efforts to destabilize the Iranian regime by duping the West claiming to represent a democratic alternative to regime of Tehran.
To achieve their goals the “MEK have always been able to rent a crowd for the benefits of TV cameras and Naive Western commentators.”; Kenneth.R.Timmerman said in his article “ No Second Marriages in Iran” in Front Page Magazine (July13,2007)
For sure democracy is welcomed all over the world, but Mujahedin-e-Khalq is not the opposition to establish it as it claims. MEK may be able to dupe the Western governments by its pro-democratic slogans, statements but not Iranians who have long been victims of the terrorist attacks of the group as well as its close cooperation with Saddam as his main accomplice against Iran.
Timmerman introduces MEK as “an Iranian terrorist organization that has murdered Americans “which “is once again trying to launder its past and to convince Western governments that it can provide an effective alternative to the regime of Tehran.”
Today MEK’s main focus in their activities is to pressure the European and American parliament members to remove them from the list of terrorist organizations.
But given the MEK’s history of violence and its willingness to act as a proxy force against Iran, it is not wise to remove them from the list because such an action would increase the hostilities between the United States and Iran and also it would influence Iraq and then the whole region.
American tools -Mojahedin Khalq or Rajavi cult- were on the payroll of Saddam Hussein
Iraq will be plunged into a new war if Israel or the US launches an attack on 
Iran, Iraqi leaders have warned. Iranian retaliation would take place in Iraq, said Dr Mahmoud Othman, the influential Iraqi MP.
The Iraqi government’s main allies are the US and Iran, whose governments openly detest each other. The Iraqi government may be militarily dependent on the 140,000 US troops in the country, but its Shia and Kurdish leaders have long been allied to Iran. Iraqi leaders have to continually perform a balancing act in which they seek to avoid alienating either country.
The balancing act has become more difficult for Iraq since George Bush successfully requested $400m (£200m) from Congress last year to fund covert operations aimed at destabilising the Iranian leadership. Some of these operations are likely to be launched from Iraqi territory with the help of Iranian militants opposed to Tehran. The most effective of these opponent groups is the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), which enraged the Iraqi government by staging a conference last month at Camp Ashraf, north-east of Baghdad. It demanded the closure of the Iranian embassy and the expulsion of all Iranian agents in Iraq. "It was a huge meeting" said Dr Othman. "All the tribes and political leaders who are against Iran, but are also against the Iraqi government, were there." He said the anti-Iranian meeting could not have taken place without US permission.
The Americans disarmed the 3,700 MEK militants, who had long been allied to Saddam Hussein, at Camp Ashraf in 2003, but they remain well-organised and well-financed. The extent of their support within Iran remains unknown, but they are extremely effective as an intelligence and propaganda organisation.
Though the MEK is on the State Department’s list of terrorist groups, the Pentagon and other US institutions have been periodically friendly to it. The US task force charged by Mr Bush with destabilising the Iranian government is likely to co-operate with it.
In reaction to the conference, the Iraqi government, the US and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have started secret talks on the future of the MEK with the Iraqi government pressing for their expulsion from Iraq. Dr Othman, who speaks to the MEK frequently by phone, said: "I pressed them to get out of Iraq voluntarily because they are a card in the hands of the Americans."
An embarrassing aspect of the American pin-prick war against Iran is that many of its instruments were previously on the payroll of Saddam Hussein. The MEK even played a role in 1991 in helping to crush the uprising against the Baathist regime at the end of the Gulf war. The dissidents from Arab districts in southern Iran around Ahwaz were funded by Saddam Hussein’s intelligence organisations, which orchestrated the seizure of the Iranian embassy in London in 1980 which was supposedly carried out by Arab nationalists from Iran.
The one community in Iran most likely to oppose the Tehran government is the Iranian Kurds. There have been an increasing number of attacks by PJAK, the Iranian wing of the Turkish PKK, which claims to be a separate party. Based in the Kandil mountains in Iraqi Kurdistan, PJAK has carried out frequent raids into Iran and has reportedly been able to win local support. But it would be extremely dangerous for the US to be seen as a supporter of PJAK as this would offend the Turks who have a military co-operation agreement with Iran against terrorism.
Independent
Many from among the Americans believe that it would be irrational and the height of irresponsibility to go to war against a country based on the claims of an opposition group that is securely leashed by the State Department as a dangerous terrorist group. Barton Kunstler’s article, Why We Cannot – and Will Not – Attack Iran contributed for opednews, well explains illogicality of such a plan and irrationality of relying on disinformation by a terrorist group that through parlaying its baseless exposure on various mainstream media outlets in world tries to escalate the already existing tensions.
Flames of war notwithstanding many lives it might claim, rises the troubled water for the terrorist MKO to fish as it did during Iran-Iraq war. Besides, it is a proven fact that only trough a chaotic atmosphere the group survives and assumes the power to accomplish its inhuman ambitions. Although not any more a weighty threat for Iranian inside, MKO might, if it can gain the ears of politicians with bellicose nature, get others into some deep, inextricable mire. Excerpts from Kunstler’s article expound the role of MKO in the war scenario.
As in the run-up to the Iraq War, a favored dissident has caught the attention of the D.C. neo-cons and has found a platform from which to harangue the American public into bombing Iran. In this case, the job of driving America into another war belongs to Alireza Jafarzadeh. Wikipedia.com’s extensive entry on Jafarzadeh reads like a brochure for his consulting firm. Before establishing the firm, Jafarzadeh belonged to a dissident group called The National Council of Resistance on Iran (NCRI), which is the political wing of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MeK). The MeK was a leftist anti-shah organization until the 1979 Revolution brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power. MeK opposed the Ayatollah and went into exile, but its politics shifted as well. MeK organized a military force based over the border in Iraq that raided Iranian targets in the 1980s. Eventually, MeK was placed on several lists of terrorist organizations.
Despite this – or as a result – MeK and the NCRI have put together a high-powered lobbying group in Washington D.C. that includes the Iran Policy Committee (IPC), headed by a former Reagan administration official, Professor Raymond Tanter, and comprising a group of Beltway military, intelligence, and right-wing political figures, which works closely with Jafarzadeh who, incidentally, is also a Foreign Affairs Analyst for Fox News.
Jafarzadeh takes credit for revealing the existence of several underground uranium enrichment plants and other WMD projects and for triggering an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) investigation of Iran’s nuclear program. However, the IAEA contradicted the claims of Jafarzadeh, and now the Bush administration, that Iran is pursuing a policy of nuclear armament. And it is not just the IAEA that disagrees with Jafarzadeh’s and Bush’s assessments. Many members of the U.S. intelligence community have publicly questioned Bush’s view of Iran’s nuclear intentions, and even within Bush’s closest circle Condoleeza Rice has apparently emerged as the voice of reason against Dick Cheney who, predictably, is all set to bomb Iran.
Remember Ahmed Chalabi? He was the Iraqi dissident who claimed Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction. By parlaying his exposure on various mainstream media outlets in the U.S., and gaining the ear of the neo-conservatives in the Bush administration, Chalabi managed to turn his unfounded claims into a gospel truth to which the Washington Post and New York Times, among others, offered a devout chorus of “amens”. In short, Chalabi played an important role in winning acceptance for the Bush administration’s invasion of Iraq. Chalabi also claimed his goal was a democratic government in his homeland.
Jafarzadeh is currently playing the Chalabi-role. MeK and the NCRI are claiming they too favor a secular, democratic Iraq. However, as described in interviews on a Dateline show directed by Bronwyn Adcock (see http://news.sbs.com.au/dateline/index.php?page=archive&daysum=2006-10-04# and click on the link, “Gunning for Iran” for the transcript) aired on October 4, 2006, former MeK members describe the organization as focused strictly on its own ambitions and those of its money-hungry leaders, with cult-like indoctrination techniques.
(link to "Gunnig for Iran" -Video file: Gunning for Iran. SBS television )
It would be the height of irresponsibility to go to war based on the claims of a man tied to groups so invested in attacking Iran. It is bad enough that a Jafarzadeh can manipulate his way into a position of influence over national policy. It is truly insane that we might actually go to war due to his influence. Lest this seems to overstate the case, the Iran Policy Committee’s web page features an article by Lt. General (Ret.) Tom McInerney and Fred Gedrich arguing for a “series of measures designed to modify Iranian behavior including (1) selective air-strikes in the face of continued Iranian support for terrorism, WMD development, and the Iraqi insurgency;(2) support for Iranian political opposition; and (3) delisting the main Iranian opposition groups – the NCRI and MEK – from the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list.” This is based on “Tehran’s past intransigence and continuing hostility.” In their view, Iran has “waged a one-sided war with the U.S. for 28 years”. Their evidence is selective and devoid of political context: they cite the seizure of our embassy in 1979 (a political act that engendered negotiations, including Ronald Reagan’s aides working with the Iranians to postpone the hostages’ release till after the November presidential elections) and Iranian support for Iraqi insurgents in the current war as the real clincher.

Dr. Kazem Habib, Iraqi prominent expert and researcher, has referred to the issue of MKO and how it’s being used as a tool by the U.S., saying:”It seems that Americans are moving according to international and regional strategies, security, military and political tactics, as well as economical interests under the shade of globalization and along the guidelines of NeoCons.”
Speaking in a conference, held by Institute for Coordination of Iraqi Democratic movement, on”how to escape Iraq’s disasters”, Kazem Habib said:”The U.S. is undoubtedly trying to play an active role in disrupting Iran’s political situation and in this regard uses the MKO as a tool. Therefore, it has indirectly linked Baathists and the MKO in order to create problems for Iran and at the same time serve as leverage against the Iraqi government. So, the security wouldn’t be established in Iraq unless the U.S. left the idea of using Iraqi soil for challenging Iranians.”
“Unfortunately, Americans consider only their own interests and this makes the situation more complex. This is the same policy Israel adopts to put pressure on Arab countries,”he added.
Al-Jeiran newspaper – 2007/08/05
The logic that defends past nuclear atrocities is now used to support a strike against Iran
It is appalling, if unsurprising, to read the neoconservative cheerleader Oliver Kamm arguing in these pages that the atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki 62 years ago saved lives and ended suffering. The subtext is plain. The same camp whose vocal endorsement led to the present catastrophe in Iraq are now hawkishly gazing at Iran. The same absurd and dangerous logic that defends the nuclear atrocities of 1945 can now be used to support the pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons against Iran – the threat of which in turn makes the idea of a conventional attack appear more palatable. Now, more than ever, we should be unequivocal in our moral position: as Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has said, the mere possession of nuclear weapons today should be viewed with the same condemnation and horror as we have regarded slavery and genocide in our modern civilized world.
Astonishingly, the calamity of Iraq has failed to dampen the belligerent clique within the White House. The arrival of an IAEA team in Tehran yesterday to discuss inspections is equally unlikely to dissuade advocates of a strike, nuclear or conventional. Such an assault would be in flagrant breach of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, but it would hardly be the first time the US has disregarded the 1968 accord.
The treaty obliges nuclear states to pursue negotiations in good faith towards cessation of the nuclear arms race and on to disarmament. It also guarantees non-nuclear states help with and access to peaceful nuclear know-how and technology.
All five original nuclear states are in violation of the treaty for failing to take effective action towards disarmament. The US systematically contravened the treaty in the 1980s and 1990s by successfully bringing pressure to bear on western governments and companies, as well as China and Russia, not to enter nuclear collaborations with Iran – which, as a signatory of the treaty, has been entitled since 1970 to receive material, technology and information for the peaceful use of nuclear power. This eventually drove Iran, after the bombing of Iraq’s Osirak nuclear plant by Israel in 1981, on to the black market in order to pursue its nuclear programme. The subsequent partial concealment of Iran’s nuclear activities gave rise to western suspicion of its nuclear ambitions, but rarely does the media characterisation make reference to the context in which the recourse to the black market took place. It is rare, too, to see mention made of the fact that the IAEA has found no evidence of a weapons programme after over 2,200 hours of snap inspections of Iranian nuclear plants.
In marked contrast to western suspicion of Iran, the real nuclear programme in Israel has been eagerly sponsored by the governments of France, Britain and the US. They have actively supported Israel’s development of an arsenal estimated to include more than 200 warheads. It is a weapons programme Tel Aviv is determined to shroud in secrecy. Mordechai Vanunu served an 18-year prison sentence, including 12 years in solitary confinement, after speaking publicly of Israel’s possession of nuclear weapons in 1986. Last month he was sentenced to a further six months in prison for speaking to foreigners .
Even as Iran discusses renewed inspections with the IAEA, the risk of a military attack on its nuclear facilities remains high. Israel’s threat to deploy nuclear bunker busters to destroy Iran’s weapons potential is in line with the US’s national security strategy of 2006 and the Pentagon’s doctrine for joint nuclear operations which justifies use of tactical nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states as a”deterrent”. The ultimate irony is that the leading violator of the treaty, the US, and the region’s sole nuclear power and non-signatory, Israel, are contemplating nuclear strikes on the pretext of nuclear limitation.
Last year John McCain, a Republican presidential hopeful and an advocate of keeping the military option against Iran on the table, was asked what the consequence of an attack on Iran would be. His response was only one word:”Armageddon.”After three devastating wars driven by the US, Britain and Israel since 9/11, the prospect of a catastrophic war against Iran hangs over the region.
While the world remembers Hiroshima and Nagasaki, an international statement endorsed by dozens of leading peace, anti-nuclear and community organisations in the UK, US and Israel, as well as five Nobel laureates, calls for a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction. Israel could do the region a great service by announcing immediately that it is to disable its nuclear arsenal.

Open Letter to President Nicolas Sarkozy To President Nicolas Sarkozy Dear Mr. President
In our previous letter entitled ‘Exigency of Monitoring Mojahedin’s Moves’ it was asserted that a close monitoring of MKO’s run media deem necessary to develop an exactly calculated judgment of MKO’s positions and its long-term objectives that jeopardize your government and French social health and impede the counter-terrorist measures. MKO’s ideologically hideous and cult-like activities are disguised under its spectacularly made democratic claims and slogans.
It is impossible to develop a deep understanding of the group’s labyrinthine structure unless its philosophy of formation since four decades is well studied. Manifestations of conflicting ideas and Machiavellianism in its ideological infrastructure as well as manipulation of cult-like techniques to have control over the insiders and operatives enable MKO to exploit whatever existing potentiality and leverage in the West in general and France in particular to accomplish its long and short term objectives. Thus, being naturally an outlawed and terrorist outfit, from its very initiation it has strongly championed a strategy of armed struggle; even in its seemingly democratic campaign and propagation you can hardly observe nonthreatening tone and remarks.
For instance, incorporated in Massoud Rajavi’s message delivered from his hideout on July 3, the West and legal bodies as well as the group’s dissidents are unequivocally warned of a violent backlash. In June 2003 event when French police raided the group’s properties including its base in Auvers-sur-Oise and detained 160 suspected MKO members including its leader Maryam Rajavi, Pierre de Bousquet de Florian, head of France’s domestic intelligence service, was reported to have claimed that the group has "transforming its Val d’Oise centre into an international terrorist base". And you, at the time French Interior Minister, declared that the MKO "recently wanted to make France its support base, notably after the intervention in Iraq". All these indicate that you have been aware of and acknowledged the terrorist nature of MKO and will never let sanctuaries be provided for the group in France unlike what did Saddam in Iraq.
Of course, your previously shown antagonistic counter-MKO position and remarks never left the filter of the group unnoticed. They waited to retaliate and their best granted opportunity was to campaign in Ms. Ségolène Royal front against you although at the first look it seemed to be a legally social move. With respect to its terrorist-cult drifts, MKO hardly leave a task unaccomplished and its leaders’ messages to the members and sympathizers contain incitements for provoking social and political chaos. Rajavi’s recent message is not an exception; concerning violent harassment and liquidation of the dissidents and critics, he makes no distinction between the ranks when he says:
Here, at the vital artery of the resistance, there is no place to differentiate a compatriot from a sympathizer or members and ranks from the Council’s head.
He unequivocally approves violent reaction against the detached members as done by the group’s desperados in a Paris conference. He believes whoever leaves the group is a betrayer who engages in an insidious plot with Iranian regime against the organization:
”Absolute boycott of wilayat Faqih regime demarcates the red line of struggle for freedom. Overpassing this red line that draws the vital borderline against theocracy culminates in detachment of dissident individuals and groups from the opposition to become betrayers. ”
Such words uttered by the leader of a terrorist group indicate nothing but an issued order to warrant assault on whoever that for any ideological and political cause disaccords the group. It has to be recalled that for Mojahedin whoever stands with the Iranian regime against the group, being them its critics, French or any other country, judicial systems, international organizations, is the foe battling against enthroning the group that has been struggling as the most Marxist-dedicated and violent Iranian opposition since forty years. The foes have to be challenged and MKO advocates the most violent, cult-like moves to defy the opponents. We have already warned you about the group’s potential threat and Rajavi’s flagrant tone attacking European politicians is actually activating the alarm:
”Now, let me in this respect consider the totally ludicrous labeling and the political traders of the EU, especially ‘the honorable dealer’ Javier Solana who has gain nothing of his serial meetings with Akhond Hassan Ruhani and Pasdar Ali Larijani.”
Mr. president,
Owning no weight in the political mainstream of Iran, MKO is sharpening its knives for a possible encounter with whoever, as Rajavi claims, joins the unified front of so many different opposition parties formed to defy Mojahedin-e Khalq. As the Rajavi draws the boundary, of course you are supposed to be the foe forming an alliance with the Islamic Republic. Consequently, countermeasures to confront the group’s violent reaction deems essential and necessary.
No sooner had the State Department and the EU announced MKO a terrorist cult that Rajavi, as the guru, addresses you from an authoritative position:
The French government and judiciary should suspend the shameful dossier of June 17. This dossier is known to be the blackest smear in the European’s counter-terrorism moves in an attempt to appease the Iranian dictatorial theocracy.
That is MKO’s position taken against one of the most democratic countries wherein its members have been residing as refugees for more than two decade with granted political rights and freedom.
Mr. president,
Rajavi in his message acclaims the burned victims of the 17 June’s self-immolations and , thus, openly encourages the insiders and sympathizers residing in the Europe to take similar steps as the leverages of pressure against the EU and French judiciary system:
Hail Sedigheh and Neda, the blazing torches and everlasting lights of freedom, and other 23 blazing heroes ….
Mr. president,
Rajavi’s message of 3 July is an unexpectedly declared war against a front as wide as the West and Europe. Besides other counter-terrorist measures to confront MKO’s undeclared terrorist moves and threats, we urge you to have a supplementary, strict control over the suspected members and sympathizers of the group, especially those whose names are recorded in the June’s dossier. No doubt, our correspondences are evidences to corroborate the violent nature and cultist activities of MKO and to contribute developing a deep recognition of this terrorist cult.
Yours Sincerely

Mojahedin.ws, July 2007
Questions arise over appearance of Mojahedin cult terrorists in Europe Dear Secretary Rice, A violent attack was made on a public meeting in the FIAP building in Paris, France by the Mojahedin Khalq proscribed terrorist Organisation (run by the self-appointed, life-time leaders of the cult Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi). Several participants were seriously injured.
The incident, which took place on June 17th, was allegedly led by Mr. Mohammad Hayati, a well-known terrorist leader who is accused of participating in the assassination of Americans in Iran during the time of the late Shah, as well as commanding the massacre of Iraqi Kurds and other criminal activities under the rule of Saddam Hussein. Documents and evidence concerning Mr Hayati’s participation in the Paris attack have been handed to the French authorities and this is currently under investigation.
Mr. Hayati was among the 3,800 MeK combatants who were disarmed and held captive by the US army during the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Mr Hayati’s appearance under a false name and passport in Europe has raised serious questions among many in Europe.
On 28th June, we witnessed the clandestine TV program of the Rajavi cult broadcasting footage of Mr. Hayati claiming that he has been in Ashraf Camp over the past weeks.
Our investigation into the matter has revealed that this transfer of a known terrorist from Camp Ashraf to Europe and his return within 11 days has not been a single incident. From what we understand, quite a few people have "gone missing" from Camp Ashraf since 2003. If so, the camp is even more of a disgrace than is generally known.
The State Department Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in its April 2007 report has emphasized that:
"…Many MEK leaders and operatives, however, remain at large, and the number of at-large MEK operatives who received weapons and bomb-making instruction from Saddam Hussein’s regime remains a source of significant concern" This concern must, of course, be heightened when such operatives are believed to have surfaced in Europe in the circumstance of a violent attack on a public meeting.
In addition to the surfacing of MKO terrorists in Europe, we also have concerns about the participation of Professor Raymond Tanter (Iran Policy Committee, an open lobbying group for the cult), Alireza Jafarzadeh (Representative of the cult in Washington) and 20 more close contacts of this proscribed organization in a ridiculously expensive show in Paris organized specifically to promote the leader of this terrorist organization. The venue has been hired by an American Company and the costs, including the transfer of actors, lobbying personnel, Afghani and Tajik refugees, is estimated to be between 1.5 to 2 million US dollars.
Dear Secretary Rice,
While we have every respect for the USA’s policies in pursuit of her national interests around the world; while we acknowledge that US efforts to bring the Iranian government in line with the international will to halt enrichment of uranium are within the rights of the US Administration; and while the attempt to bring normality back to the streets of Iraq is everyone’s wish, we are increasingly concerned about the unchallenged activities of the Mojahedin cult. In particular we are concerned about the possible misuse of their terrorist capabilities by some elements in Iraq and nowadays in European and North American countries.
The open hand given to the leaders of the cult, and their freedom of travel to and from Camp Ashraf, while for the last 3 years we have witnessed the hardship imposed on those who have rejected the cult (of which around 200 are still, after four years, living in harsh conditions under tents in the Iraqi desert) is surely not acceptable to your good self. And the responsibility for injury and/or possible assassination of critics of the cult in European countries by some known, registered terrorists like Mohammad Hayati, would certainly lie at the door of the US Administration (which is in charge of security at Camp Ashraf) before it becomes the responsibility of any European Law agencies.
Dear Secretary Rice,
As survivors of the terrorist Rajavi cult, which has been investigated by the US and about which many thoroughly researched reports have been written since 1994, we urge you to instigate a full investigation into the situation at Camp Ashraf in Iraq. We draw your attention in particular to the meetings that take place between the supporters of Saddam Hussein and the MEK. We also urge a thorough investigation into the whereabouts of those people who have been missing from the camp from 2003 up to now.
We also urge you to take the activities of the Iran Policy Committee, the representatives of the MKO, including Mr. Alireza Jafarzadeh who has regularly appeared as an ‘Iran analyst’ on Fox News, and the other lobbying bodies in your country, seriously.
We are more than happy to provide the documents and evidence which we have on these issues to your department for further investigation.
Yours sincerely,
Anne Singleton,
