One of the terrorist organizations that the U.S. accused Iraq of supporting during the run-up to the war, the Mujahedin Khalq (MEK) aka PMOI/NCRI/MKO or the”People’s Combatants”, has been lobbying House Republicans and Democrats.
More than 300 U.S. legislators from both parties have at one time or other signed petitions in support of the MEK since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, and MEK spokesmen say they have offered the sect’s services to the United States.
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.

This group was formed in the 1960s by the college-educated children of wealthy Iranian merchants.
