Coalition bombards People's Mujahedeen bases: British embassy
TEHRAN (AFP) Apr 15, 2003
Coalition forces struck bases in Iraq housing forces of the People's Mujahedeen, the main Iranian armed opposition group, a spokesman for the British embassy in Tehran told AFP Tuesday.

"Coalition forces attacked more than once MKO camps in Iraq," said Andrew Greenstock, using the group's acronym but without indicating when the attacks took place.

"The MKO is not only a terrorist organisation according to Britain, but they were also part of the Iraqi armed forces" which constituted obstacles to the US-led operation in Iraq, Greenstock added.
