Last MKO members removed from Camp Ashraf

The remaining members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) have been evicted from Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s eastern Diyala Province and been moved to a base near the capital, Baghdad.

The last group of MKO terrorists at Camp Ashraf, now renamed Camp New Iraq, was evicted by the Iraqi government on Wednesday to join the other members of the terrorist group in the former US-held Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport and await relocation to other countries.

The MKO is listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community and has committed numerous terrorist acts against Iranians and Iraqis.

The group fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq, where it received the support of Iraq’s executed dictator Saddam Hussein and set up a terror camp near the Iranian border.

Out of nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, 12,000 of them have fallen victim to the acts of terror carried out by the MKO.

In December 2011, the United Nations and Baghdad agreed to relocate some 3,000 MKO members from Camp New Iraq to Camp Liberty.

The eviction of the last batch of the terrorists from the camp comes over a week after a number of MKO members, including some top commanders, were killed in an attack on Camp Ashraf.
