Iraqi trial against MKO ringleaders

The Iraqi Supreme Criminal Court will conduct trial of the ringleaders of Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), Iraqi chief prosecutor of the supreme criminal court Jaafar al-Mousavi said on Sunday.

The court has evidence of war crimes and involvement in the crackdown on Iraqi people during rule of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein by Mujahedin Khalq Organization, al-Mousavi said.

He said that the Iraqi Supreme Criminal Court has compiled documents about the killing of Iraqi people in the context of Saddam's crackdown against the people in return for huge amount of money from Iraqi public fund.

MKO is said to have been involved in a crackdown operation against Shiite Muslims in 1991 in Southern Iraq and Iraqi Kurds in Northern Iraq.

Currently 4,000 MKO members are at Ashraf camp under protection of the US troops.
