Iran on Mujahideen Khalq Organization in Iraq

Iranian Government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said today in response to a question whether the government has any plans on extradition of the leader of the Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO), Masoud Rajavi, which Iran says is a terrorist kept at an Iraq-based US garrison, "Once the US troops withdraw from Iraq, we shall settle the issue with Iraq's government."

IRNA reported that replying to another question about the measures taken to release the kidnapped Iranian soldiers, he said that given the" terrorist moves in the region are supported by Europe and US, they should be aware of its consequences which threatens the human community. He said that the Interior Ministry will pursue the matter closely."
