Hakim: MKO should leave Iraq soon

Speaker of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), Ammar Hakim, said here on Friday that the terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO) should soon leave Iraq. Hakim told a group of reporters on the sidelines of his meetings with a group of top Iranian clergymen that the MKO have betrayed the Islamic Republic of Iran and certain other countries by their terrorist acts; so this leaves no room for their presence in Iraq. He said anyone of the MKO can return to their country if they wish and the Islamic Republic of Iran too has announced that 100 of them, that against whom files are open, should go to court if they return. Also pointing to presence of occupiers in Iraq, Hakim said the occupiers should leave Iraq by end of this year and “we will not allow anyone of them to remain in the country.” He said the occupiers should leave Iraq on due date based on the security pact.
