Information obtained by Iraqi intelligence agencies indicates that the National Dialogue Front has signed a security pact with the MKO.

Intelligence gathered by Iraq’s agencies shows that two years ago, the Iraqi National Dialogue Front, lead by MP Saleh al-Mutlaq, signed a security, information, and training agreement with the Mujahedin Khalq Organization [an Iranian terrorist group now based in Iraq], Farsnews reported on Tuesday.

Iran, Iraq, Canada, the United States, and the European Union have recognized the MKO as a terrorist group. The MKO is responsible for carrying out numerous terrorist attacks in Iran and Iraq over the past 25 years. It also is responsible for countess bombings and assassinations targeting Iranians.

The MKO was closely allied with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and contributed to the suppression of the Iraqi people under the Ba’athist regime.

According to Farsnews, the MKO is training forces affiliated with the Iraqi Dialogue Front to carry out operations at the al-Ashraf camp, the main headquarters of the group.

Up to 20 individuals, led by Iraqi MP Mohammad al-Daini, are also believed to be among the trainees.
