Slaughterer Israeli Diplomat Rebuffs MKO Claims on Iran’s Involvement in Embassy Blast

A former senior Israeli diplomat dismissed the claims raised by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, PMOI and NCRI) about Iran’s involvement in the last year’s blast in the Israeli embassy in India.

“In 2008, when our intelligence agency assassinated (martyr Imad) Moqniyeh, Iran and Hezbollah threatened that they will target us in every part of the world but we saw that they didn’t,” the former Israeli ambassador to Germany said in a televised interview on Monday.

In February 2012, Israel accused Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah of being behind twin bomb attacks that targeted Israeli embassy staff in India and Georgia, wounding four people.

Tehran denied involvement in the attacks and accused Israel of carrying out the attacks itself.

Israel didn’t provide any evidence for this cynical allegation, which makes no sense since India is Iran’s economic lifeline and Tehran would not risk such an operation at any time, analysts say.

The Israeli allegations were raised against Iran after the MKO’s claims in this regard. MKO is a terrorist group with a bad record of terrorist operations in Iran and other countries.

In a recent case, the MKO claimed that it can recruit extremist and terrorist groups in Iraq due to its three-decade-long stay in that country which has also provided them with some in-debt knowledge of the Arab country, and then organize bombing plots, suicide attacks and spark sectarian and ethnic conflict in a bid to make Iraq’s atmosphere tense similar to the present conditions in Syria.

Despite the efforts made by the Iraqi government to expel all MKO elements from Iraq, the western supporters of MKO, specially the US, have prevented their expulsion from the Muslim country so far.

In September 2012, the last groups of the MKO terrorists left Camp Ashraf, their main training center in Iraq’s Diyala province. They have been transferred to Camp Liberty transient facility near Baghdad.

No world country has yet accepted to host the members of the terrorist group.

The MKO, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly-established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar and Judiciary Chief Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.
