Camp Ashraf was a heavily armed encampment under Saddam Hussein from which Mujahedeen[MKO/MEK/PMOI] fighters attempted to invade Iran at the end of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. They were driven off. Today they enjoy little support in their home country, in spite of Mrs. Rajavi’s claims to lead the main resistance to the Islamic Republic, apparently because their efforts were seen as treacherous by many Iranians. ..
Romney’s campaign counts on the fact that the public never hears of this group or his campaign’s covert connections to them. Few Americans—besides AFP readers who read about this in the Dec. 16, 2011, edition—have even heard of the fanatical, terrorist group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (People’s Mujahedin of Iran; MEK or MKO). This is thanks to the big media’s general cover-up, and largely because it is an Israeli asset.
In the case of the assassination of Iranian scientists, the Mossad’s assets are almost certainly members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) also known as The Peoples’ Mujahedin of Iran, which is committed to overthrowing the Iranian government. Many of its activists are based in Iraqi Kurdistan where Mossad has a substantial presence. It does the training there, and MKO/MEK/PMOI members do the actual killing.
Under circumstances this force – Mujahedin-e Khalq aka MKO/MEK/PMOI became a reactionary group of people, who are more and more inclined for operating terrorist attacks. And they operate for that and there are secret ties, which are not on the surface, of Mossad and other Israeli secret services, between these services and Mujahedin-e Khalq and similar organizations. It is not the only organization of this sort, there are some other..
I might add in addition to Jundollah, you might also want to consider that the MKO [ Mojahedin al Khalq Organization] or the MEK/PMOI as it is also called, which has been in Iraq for years and which is also against the Iranian regime, also might have been involved as well. They would blend in very well, very easily. So it could be a combination of Jundollah and MEK. ..
The editorial director of Antiwar.com also pointed out that Mujahedin-e Khalq /MKO/MEK/PMOI enjoys”widespread support on Capitol Hill”and stated that”this is the only terrorist group I know of that is allowed to maintain an unofficial embassy in Washington through various front groups”.He raised a question that”could it have something to do with the large amounts of cash the MEK front groups in Washington are throwing around?”concluding that some of these supporters are somehow motivated to take part…
Former CIA counter-terrorism chief and 27 year CIA veteran, Vincent Cannistraro, says MEK is a terrorist group truly taking advantage of US officials support.Referring to Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorists enjoying widespread support within the United States Vincent Cannistraro told Habilian in a recent interview, “I agree that the MEK is a cult that interestingly is a terrorist group supported by neo-conservatives and others.”
During Mitt Romney’s last month’s lackluster debate performance with a town hall in New Hampshire, an audience member asked the potential Republican nominee if he supported Mitt Romney efforts by prominent political leaders in Washington to remove the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, an Iranian dissident terrorist group, from the State Department’s list of designated terrorist organizations…If Romney has truly never heard of the MEK, he won’t have to..
a path has been cleared to free the civilian hostages that the MEK leadership is keeping in Camp Ashraf to use as bargaining chips in their effort to manipulate American opinion to get the government to change the official status of their group. American advocates for the MEK’s de-listing regularly exploit the misfortune of the inhabitants of Camp Ashraf,wrap themselves in the mantle of humanitarianism, and confuse the very different issues ..
MEK. Admittedly a terrorist organization, listed by the US State Department as being such, it is fully funded, armed, and backed by the United States, based in France and US-occupied Iraq, .. clearly this reveals that not only is the “War on Terror” an absolute fraud, but so are the politicians, policy wonks, and military “leaders” who have promoted it, pinned medals on their own chests for “fighting” it, and have made immense fortunes and power grabs ..
