Iran negotiating probable return of MKO members home
IRNA -- Iran is negotiating with certain parties to encourage members of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) to return home from their dismantled bases in Iraq following the US-led invasion of that country, an official here said Wednesday. "Certain parties"? Would that be us? "We announce explicitly that the Iranian government is ready to accept these individuals into the country and rid them from all the afflictions they are having now," Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh told reporters. Sounds, ummmm... permanent. "We are currently negotiating with all those we think could have an influence on this (since) leaders of the grouplet have deserted their subordinates and fled the scene of the conflict," he added. "Then I looked around me, a — thhhhppp! — they wuz gone!" The official rang out a clear warning against sheltering members of the terrorist group, calling on world countries to extradite senior leaders of MKO. The Islamic Republic refers to members of the group as Munafeqin or hypocrites. "The Munafeqin are a terrorist group and according to international resolutions no country has the right to let them in and all leaders of the grouplet must be extradited to Iran for trial," Ramezanzadeh said. They'll look good with necks a yard long... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-16 |
