LONDON, November 2 (IranMania) - Terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO) was involved in car bombing in the southern port city of Basra on Monday, Iraqi security official told IRNA.
The car bombing on Monday killed at least 20 Iraqi civilians and injured more than 50 in Basra. Several of those injured are in critical condition.
The security official said that the number of deaths will probably rise.
"The car bombing took place in Basra following suspicious contacts between MKO elements and British military officers based in the Iraqi city," he said.
Iraqi police arrested two British nationals accused of bombing in the residential areas of Basra so far. British troops attacked the prison to free the British prisoners later on.
The British officers have embarked on hiring MKO elements for sabotage and terrorist attacks in Iraq for their own inhumane ends.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari said earlier that the MKO will be expelled from the country for the crimes they perpetrated against Iraqi people under Saddam Hussein.
In the final years of Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq, MKO served as accomplice to Iraqi dictator in crushing Iraqi people's uprising in northern Iraq against Saddam.
MKO is currently working in collaboration with US and UK troops occupying Iraq since April 2003.
The security official said that evidences of MKO involvement in Basra car bombing are being collected.
He said that the style of the terrorist attacks bear striking similarity with the MKO's previous operations in Iraq.
Anyone else reporting this?
I am no fan for MKO, but it smells like propaganda by the Iranian regime.

Nope... just our enemy, the Iranian regime. Iran's state run media is headed by a former Revolutionary Guard commander whose boss is Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Saied Khamenie. This is not news... It's Anti-Western propaganda. For example:
Iraqi police arrested two British nationals accused of bombing in the residential areas of Basra so far. British troops attacked the prison to free the British prisoners later on.
These two Brits were an SAS detachment tracking Iran’s infiltration into Iraq in the south along the border. The troops that this propaganda alleges attacked the prison, in fact negotiated the release of these two SAS soldiers. What was very disturbing was, local police forces handed them over to local militia in an act that looked coordinated by Iranian intelligence. During the negotiations a crowd formed and fire bombed a British personnel carrier. One soldier was seriously burned.
These are lies. It’s a good thing this was posted under “bloggers and personal” because this is not news!
