Iran regime makes accusations against PMOI to cover up its crimes, meddling in Iraq
Sunday, 03 December 2006
NCRI – The following is a statement by the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran on December 2, 2006:
Citing the Undersecretary on Security Affairs of Iraq and the Governor of Diyala Province, Iran's ruling religious fascism claimed, “The PMOI cooperates with Al-Qaeda.” It added, “Activities of the U.S. forces has led the terrorist Monafeqin group (mullahs' reference to the PMOI) to murder Shiites in Diyala Province in cooperation with Takfiri groups (referring to Islamic extremist groups)."
The Iranian regime's Kurdish-language Television Sahar also said, “The armed individuals of the American occupier use them (the PMOI members) for terrorist operations.”
It appears that the Iranian regime’s preposterous claims against the PMOI is primarily fabricated with the intention of covering up its crimes and meddling in Iraq, particularly its widespread infiltration of the Revolutionary Guards forces into Iraq through Mehran and Khaneqin border regions to stir up sectarian violence and generate civil war.
On November 30, Baghdad Television reported that the U.S. forces had seized Iran-made weapons, manufactured in 2006, from Iraqi militias.
It is the Iranian regime’s usual practice to cover up and overshadow its unbridled terrorism and crimes by accusing its main opposition of involvement in terrorist activities.
In response to the regime's absurd allegations against the PMOI of being involved in bombings, kidnappings, terrorist operations and killing of Iraqi citizens, as raised previously by the mullahs’ regime, the MNF-I spokesman Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV said in a press conference in Baghdad on July 20, 2006, “The MEK [PMOI] is out at Ashraf in a secure military facility that the coalition forces, in fact, guard on a 24-by-7 basis. They're under continuous surveillance and control. Their future status does need to be eventually determined, but currently, they're not operating within the country of Iraq.” The MNF-I spokesman added, “They're in a fenced-in facility, a very large facility out there, and there is quite a few coalition forces that are there continuously guarding that facility to make sure they in fact are not allowed access out of it, and if it is, it's a controlled access, where they are in fact are (sic.) escorted the entire time.”
By signing a declaration in June 2006 which was published in the local Iraqi and international media, 5.2 million Iraqis announced, “Iran’s rulers want to dominate this part of the world and have turned Iraq into a hunting ground and the frontline of their war with the international community. They are trying to stifle the war between democracy and dictatorship in Iraq before its reverberations reach Iran."
