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.”
Cannistraro who served as Director of Intelligence Programs for the United States National Security Council (NSC) from 1984 to 1987, said "some apparently think it’s not terrorism when it only kills people you don’t like."
Earlier last month, a group of the US congressmen asked the Obama administration to take the MKO off the US terrorist list and increase efforts to keep its terrorist elements in Iraq.
