As supporters of the rival dissident groups vied for media attention, one group accused the other of being imposters. An hour and a half into the National Press Club event in Washington, D.C., organizers halted it and Capitol police were called in to keep order.
“Leaving the determination of whether a group is a ‘foreign terrorist organization’ to the executive branch … is both a reasonable and a constitutional way to make such determinations,”Judge Andrew Kleinfeld wrote for a three-judge panel. …. The ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was made in a case involving people who raised money in California for Mujahedin-e Khalq, or MEK,
The toppled regime of Saddam Hussein actively supported international terrorism, and the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation, led by Massoud Rajavi, was at the top of the list of these terrorist organisations.
— The Mojahedin as part of Saddam’s military played a decisive role in the suppression of the internal uprisings in Iraq in 1991, and are responsible for the massacre of many Iraqi Shiites and Kurds who opposed Saddam.
We were passing the Kurdish township of “Tuz” when we heard the ill-fated voice of Rajavi on radios. “Revolutionary guards and agents of Iranian regime in Kurdish clothes are going to attack MKO members, therefore kill them as soon as you see them” this was his message!Neither anyone nor I could have thought that there’s something else behind this event.
…These traitors have blamed Saddam Hussein for the operation Al-Anfal and the massacre of 1991 and didn’t accept any responsibility for these crimes.Besides these people, some terrorist groups helped Saddam Hussein in these operations, the most important of which is the MKO (Mojahedin-e khalq). The MKO, an Iranian opposition group based in Iraq takes advantage of Iraq’s resources and is protected by Americans…
This operation, called by the MKO”Forough-e Javidan”(Eternal Light) and called”Mersad”(Ambsuh) by Iranian leaders, was the largest armed move by an iranian opposition group …Iranian military commanders say they withdrew intentionally in order to blow back later with stronger force.According to the officials, Revolutionary Guard and Basij forces started their final operation on July 27, when the MKO/PMOI was only 40 kilometers from the city of Kermansha. MKO forces were crushed heavily.
Ms. Lucy Smith, member of UN Commission for the rights of the child, stressed that most of MKO’s documents on Iran should be dumped…..Highlighting the main items of”Universal Convention on the Rights of the Child”, she pointed to the victims of MKO’s terror and violence and said:”Last year, I met a number of families of such victims and I was really affected.”
Seven people were arrested at Los Angeles’ international airport on 27 February on charges of raising over $1 million for the MKO/PMOI. In a tactic common to MKO operatives, they posed as charity workers and solicited funds for orphans…This investigation has revealed that the money was really used to support terrorist actions..The operation was initiated by the German Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), which informed the FBI
Who was responsible for the Najaf bombing, in which 125 people were killed including the leader of the pro-Iranian Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI)?
A federal appeals court reinstated indictments against seven Los Angeles residents accused of raising money for a terror organization with links to ousted Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein.
