Then
there is the approach of the Mojahedin Khalq (aka MKO, MEK, NCRI),
sympathetic media and lobbyists; immediately blame your enemies (in this
case the host country) and build a strong verbal and pictorial
narrative to support that assertion. Less than a few hours after the
event strident press releases and graphic photographs of handcuffed,
executed bodies were being sent to media and political circles claiming
that the government of Iraq had massacred the camp residents. Iraq’s
security forces denied having entered the camp.[[[[[But,
after a day or two of drip-feeding such images it began to resemble a
Hollywood film; initial shocking pictures of the dead, then a back-flash
to the moment the ill-equipped but masked attackers covertly crept up
on the camp. (Carefully filmed by the victims themselves; if you saw
this would you not run away or at least grab a gun rather than a
camera!) This also begs the obvious question, ‘why would the Iraqi
forces brutally murder half the residents then leave the remainder free
to film the victims, send the films to the MEK HQ and allow these
pictures to be distributed to the world?’ What possible motivation would
they have?]]]]] No, the mystery surrounding these
killings can begin to be unlocked by looking at some facts behind the
MEK’s propaganda campaign, and by examining Massoud Rajavi’s disgusting,
inhuman and sickening behaviour. Firstly Rajavi reneged on his
agreement with the UN and insisted on retaining 100 people in Camp
Ashraf while the remainder were transferred to temporary transit camp
Liberty.This
meant hundreds of Iraqi security forces were unnecessarily tied up in
‘protecting’ people illegally squatting the land and who are regarded in
Iraq as terrorists, while Iraq’s civilian population are under constant
threat of bombing and shooting in the rest of the country. While there
they refused to allow anyone to enter the camp, declaring it an
extra-judicial enclave to which not even the UN was granted access. And
they endlessly whinged about the poor conditions while demanding that
they stay put. They also refused to deal with the so-called possessions
which they had supposedly remained there to sell. Certainly if the MEK
were in any way immersed in normal society, even if the families of
residents had been allowed to remain outside the camp to make contact
with their loved ones, this kind of covert attack would not have been
possible.So, why
were they really there and who was behind this attack? Although Iranian
rightwingers and Revolutionary Guards hailed it as a victory for the
Iraqi people, whoever was behind this tragedy was certainly an enemy of
the government of Iraq.
Since the MEK released the names of
the recent victims it has emerged that nearly all of the 100 people who
remained at Camp Ashraf had been indicted for various terrorist crimes.
Most of those killed were old and disaffected members but were unable to
leave the MEK as they were marked for arrest by law enforcement
agencies. They were, in effect, Rajavi’s hostages to do with what he
wanted. [[[[Interestingly, the people who are missing are all members of
Rajavi’s personal security team, including the head of his security team
Mahboubeh Jamshidi. How did it happen that they were not among those
killed and where are they now? More to the point, where is Massoud
Rajavi?]]]][ed notes:it's a hard established fact family members of mek victims inside that camp were unable to enter ,for a long time,even as they were camped outside for many months accusing rajavi of hostage taking...see videos.. scroll down to older videos http://www.youtube.com/user/iraninterlinkorg/videos family members were even attacked by projectiles!!!
