The official believes that two probable reasons may have led the MKO to slow down its cooperation with the UN and the Iraq Government. “…there are two issues that have occurred to us. One, the MEK may have over-interpreted Iraqi politics..the court has not told Secretary Clinton to delist the group and its leaders are “quite plainly, wrong”.
An investigation by the US Treasury Department has indicated that the terrorist anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) is financially sponsored by Israel.
While the MKO’s spokesman Ali Safavi said the funds for the pro-MKO/MEK/PMOI campaign come from Iranian Americans [4], there are various reports and testimonies on the group’s affluent resources.According to the Guardian article, some US officials who suspect Safavi’s claim, say because of the amounts involved, money is coming from other sources, mostly likely Saudi Arabia and Israel..
Overwhelmed with the Mujahedin Khalq’s money, Capitol Hill is on the verge of delisting the group. Who is next to getting delisted? Al-Qaida? Definitely by delisting the MKO, hypocrisy will be raised to a higher level in the “land of double standards”. Naturally we should wait for the removal of other Foreign Terrorist Organizations from the list at the proper time!
Regarding the current situation of the MKO aka MEK/PMOI weather in Iraq or in the international community, you may find out the critical difficult conditions the group leaders are stuck in.The fifth group of Ashraf residents moved to Temporary Transit Location (Camp Liberty) last week while the group leaders are working hard to change TTL into a refugee camp..
Following the relocation of the MKO members in Temporary Transit Location (Camp Liberty), a new wave of defection started among the cult forces.Six dissociated members of the group who were kept as hostages by the leaders could manage to run away, last week.The first group of escapees who left TTL last week included four people: Hassan Yazdani,….
To illuminate the minds of those who wonder why supporting Mujahedin Khalq Organization cause danger to the world, we should have a look at various records on the history and current practices of the group. There have been various documented reports on the MKO including reports by RAND Corporation, 2009 and HRW’s “No Exit”, 2005 but recent analysis on the group and its supporters in the West sheds light on the potential threat of harboring a terrorist designated cult.
