Iranian Intelligence Minister Seyyed Mahmoud Alavi says the ruinous fate of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) was quite foreseeable, as any group that turns against its own nation is doomed to fall.Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Thursday, Alavi described the fall of the MKO headquarters in Camp Ashraf, now called Camp New Iraq, as the natural outcome for an organization that has based its activities on criminal acts, intimidation, terror and assassination of those who did not bow to injustice, global arrogance and disgrace.
The minister stated that the MKO was a deviant grouplet that committed any heinous crime in order to continue its ignominious political life, agreed to work as a mercenary group for a criminal like executed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and has the blood of the oppressed Iraqi nation as well as the Iranian people on its hands.
Alavi went on to say that the MKO actions enraged the Iraqi nation, and the criminal members of the group were ultimately consumed by their wrath.
The determination of the oppressed Iraqi nation first caused their borrowed war machine to run aground, before punishing their influential members for their crimes, and expelling them from their land..., Alavi commented.
On September 1, over 70 MKO members, including top commanders, were reportedly killed in an attack in the terrorist group's notorious camp in Iraqs eastern province of Diyala. There were around 100 MKO members in the camp at the time.
The attack came at the hands of a group of Iraqi people and the relatives of those martyred by the terrorists when they had joined forces with executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in 1991 to crush an uprising by Iraqi Shias.
The Iraqis who stormed the terror camp further demanded the immediate ouster of all MKO terrorists from their country.
The last group of MKO terrorists at Camp Ashraf was evicted by the Iraqi government on Wednesday to join the other members of the terrorist group in the former US-held Camp Liberty, now called Camp Hurriya, near Baghdad International Airport where they are awaiting relocation to other countries.
The MKO fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of Iraq's executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up its camp near the Iranian border.
The group is also known to have cooperated with Saddam Hussein in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and carrying out the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.
The MKO has carried out numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials.
