MKO, who were happy of not facing any resistance on their way, suddenly faced themselves in an Inferno of bombs which were falling on them from air and land. It did not take a long time to see the Kermanshah - Islamabad road piled up by burned equipments which were given to the MKO by the west as gift. Few people who succeeded to save their lives, escaped to the villages nearby, some other decided to take their lives by taking cyanide tablets. When the operation ended, both sides of the road were piled up with bodies

“Violent Regime Change in Iran by Freedom Fighters Tancredo advocates U.S. support for the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a cult-like group that is cultivating a broad base of support among Iranian expatriates around the world. Mujahedin e-Khalq means ‘people’s freedom fighters.’ MEK affiliates are the Iraq-based National Liberation Army of Iran and the National Council of Resistance in Iran. MEK calls itself the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI).

Having known nothing about Iran's interior condition and impressed by Masoud Rajavi's lies, demagogueries and false analysis, the MKO elements vainly thought that they only needed to get to Iran and then in a short time, they could easily topple the Iranian regime with the help of Iranians themselves and without any grave resistance; but fully unaware of the real atmosphere in Iran, everything was unlike what they imagined and instead they faced tough public resistance

The lawmaker further described the US president's message of condolence for the death of the civilians in the terrorist attack as "political hypocrisy", and stressed that the message can never hide Washington's role in organizing the terrorist attack. Dehqan further slated the US support for the anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), as well as its aids and supports for the Israeli regime which is a harbinger of state-sponsored-terrorism.

What MKO did, it even outstripped shah’s SAVAK in terms of its persecution of its opponents. Kurdish Regional Government should press charges on moral grounds against MKO for joining Saddam's army during the Iraqi-Iran war (1980-1988) and helping the dictator in suppressing Kurdish 1991 uprisings and massacre of Iraqi Kurds. MKO is responsible for numerous acts of terror, violence, assassination attempts against Kurdish civilians and government officials in South Kurdistan.

For years, Iran has endured a series of terrorist actions -- suicide bombings, kidnappings, beheadings, open assaults by fanatical gunmen, sabotage, and "targeted assassinations" of government officials, scientists and others. Multitudes have been slaughtered in these operations, whose ferocity and frequency are surpassed only by the atrocities that have been unleashed in the four countries that have been on the forefront of America's Terror War:

Cults are largely in need of obedient and submissive members whose mentality can be shaped through a change of identity. The process of producing identity within MKO follows the same mechanism as similar in other cults and its orientation began with the start of the internal ideological revolution… To stripe somebody of his individual identity to replace it with a new identity has been a common process in majority of all contemporary cults...

The arrest of several terrorist agents of MKO in Iran charged with attempts to blast bombs in public places to create terror, destruction and insecurity once more underlines the undeniable terrorist nature of the group. What is indisputable is that Massoud Rajavi’s call for mass uprising in a deadline period of ten days, beginning from the June 10 to end in regime’s fall in June 20, indicates that he is doing whatever in his power and under any excuse...

The PMOI has carried out a number of activities on French soil that are clandestine, sectarian, delinquent, and even seriously criminal. In France, the organization has two or three hundred militants and sympathizers. Its ‘hard nucleus’ is made up of a few dozen militants the organization has been able to show its ability to mobilize people for multiple protest demonstrations (Iran- US football match in Lyon in 1998, the visits of Iranian leaders…

Ali Sayyad Shirazi was the representative of Ayatollah Khamenei in the armed forces. While leader of the Islamic Revolution is nominally the supreme commander of the armed forces, Shirazi as deputy chief of staff, was the army's acting commander. He had also directed most of Iran's ground campaign during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, and was awarded the country's highest military decoration--the"al-Fatah" medal for his distinguished role in bravely defending his country against the enemies.

In a strikingly similar fashion to Hassan Sabbah, in the early1980’s Massoud Rajavi, came to realize that in order to achieve organizational efficiency and maintain his own power, a system must be implemented for the MEK. Professor Ervand Abrahamian—one of the world’s foremost experts on the cult, whose 1989 extensively researched book, The Iranian Mojahedin is still being used to educate professors, politicians and policymakers…

Surely, the truth of such claim made by one of the ranking members of the organization and one of the closest layers to Rajavi’s private relations cannot be denied but analyzed. Of course, the question of sexual relations within the armed, underground establishment of the organization was a challenge it was facing from its very days of formation and at time it had to adopt different solution to overcome the problem.

During late 1994 and early 1995, many members of the MKO were arrested by the organization’s operatives inside their camps in Iraq. They were interrogated and accused of spying for the Iranian government. They were released in mid-1995 after being forced to sign false confessions and stating their loyalty to the leadership. Five former MKO members interviewed for this report were arrested during this period:...

‘The hardest thing is to regain your own identity,’ says Massoud Khodabandeh. But former members must also learn how to handle money, how to make even the simplest of decisions, like which shirt to buy. Stepping out of the Mujahedin Khalq is like quitting a heroin habit - it is a complete change of lifestyle. They have lost part of their past, and their comrades are no longer their friends, while new friends are hard to come by

Judit Neurink was interviewed about her book "Misleide Martelaren" (Misled Martyrs), which covers the 40-year history of the Iranian opposition group known as the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK), Radio Farda reported on 7 November. Neurink told Radio Farda she got interested in the subject about two years earlier, when MEK members immolated themselves after their leader, Maryam Rajavi, was arrested in France.

The MeK was a minor issue in the overall conflict in Iraq, but it was an important one because the issues that emerged in the course of detaining the MeK were, in many ways, a microcosm of the larger challenges posed by detainee operations in general. Thus, both the missteps and the small successes along the way provide valuable lessons for improving how the United States deals with “special populations” in future operations.
