Iraq to shut MKO camp in two months
Iraq will close within two months a camp where opposition Iranian rebels have been living in exile for two decades, a senior Iraqi security official said on Friday."Over 3,000 inhabitants of Camp Ashraf have to leave Iraq and the camp will be part of history within two months," Iraqi National Security Adviser Muwaffaq Al Rubaie told a news conference with Saeed Jalili, secretary-general of Iran's National Security Council. "Iran's security cannot be threatened by any factor inside Iraq. Iran's security is our own security." Iraq has said in the past it plans to close the camp eventually, but the two month deadline appears to be new and would leave little time to find a place for its inhabitants.
