The
Mujaheddin-e-Khalq Organisation (MEK/MKO) is also known as
The National Liberation Army of Iran (NLA),
The People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI) and the
National Council of Resistance (NCR)). The organisation emerged in
Iran during the
1960s, and has been recognised by some nations as a terrorist group. It held significant ties with the former
Iraqi government of
Saddam Hussein, however its military wing was at least partly disarmed by occupying
American forces.
In June 2003, the group had its some of its French properties raided, after suspicions that it was trying to shift its base of operations there. [1 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3010422.stm)]
