In his weekly press conference and in response to question”whether he believed Interpol’s decision to pursue MKO leaders was a positive outcome of Baghdad talks?”, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Seyed Mohammed Ali Husseini said: ..
In an interview with the Mehr News Agency on Tuesday the chief prosecutor of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal (ISCT), Jaafar al-Mousavi, said there is evidence to suggest that the MKO had a hand in murdering Iraqi citizens. Al-Mousavi stated that an arrest warrant has been issued against 150 MKO members including ringleaders Maryam Rajavi and Mas?oud Rajavi.
Amir Abdullahian, the head of Iranian delegation in trilateral talks in Iraq, said in a press conference in Baghdad:”During the meeting of Iranian ambassador to Iraq and his American counterpart, the issue of MKO’s fate in Iraq was not mentioned but its involvement in sabotage operations in Iraq was discussed.”
The President noted that certain powers who advocate double standards, occupation, the use of pressure and rights violation to further their own interests are the main root of terrorism, IRNA reported. Ahmadinejad further indicated that the Zionist regime, while enjoying the support of imperialist powers, is now committing the worst act of terrorism in Palestine by killing women and children.
Baqeri said, during the recent negotiations, Iran had asked the Americans why they would not allow the Iraqi police to use up-to-date weapons, why they could not establish security in Iraq with over 150 thousand soldiers, and also why they ignored the fact that certain groups are becoming armed in Iraq.
The letter referred to an article in the weekly’s previous addition on July 29, in which it said that the writer, Christopher Booker, had one clear obligation”to whitewash the background of a cult whose cruelty and hypocrisy are evident to concerned authorities and international bodies.”
We have some information, and some indication, that contrary to what the Americans claim, there has been some contact with some terrorist groups. This is why I talked about good will at the beginning. One of the bad policies of the United States is this double standard towards terrorism, to divide terrorists into good and bad terrorists. This is the source of so many problems.
Few doubt that the Iranian regime has embarked on a collision course with the West and is hell-bent on developing nuclear weapons. Even Euro-sceptics acknowledge that Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has taken Iran on a dangerous path, and have allowed an unprecedented complaint against him by the government of Israel for inciting genocide to proceed at the United Nations.
Hosseini recalled the crimes perpetrated by the MKO including the murder of many Iranian high-ranking officials and civilians. He lambasted the EU for failing to enter the so-called ‘National Resistance Council of Iran in its list of terrorist organizations and called on the EU to avoid a selective approach.
