Iranian opposition group will not be forced out of Iraq, says spokesman
2009-01-25
The Iraqi government will not force an Iraq-based Iranian opposition group out of Iraq, a government spokesman said on Saturday.

Spokesman Ali Al Dabbagh said the People's Mujahedeen "is not wanted," in Iraq and must "find a third country to move to."

On Friday, Iraq's National Security adviser, Mouwaffak Al Rubaie, said the government's decision to close the group's Camp Ashraf is "irreversible."

Iraq assumed responsibility for the camp from the US on January 1 under a new security agreement.

#2  You know, Barbara, that may not be such a bad idea. I'm sure moving them into PKK territory would do wonders at ending that group's attacks on Turkey. Either that, or they'd change their direction of attack, and cross the border into Iran to cause mischief. Sounds like a win-win to me...
