According to credible reports from inside Iran, last week, a group of agents of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and the terrorist Qods Force were dispatched to Iraq.
The group that included 18 agents were transferred to Camp Ashraf on Saturday, December 14, by the regime’s embassy in Baghdad in coordination with Nouri Maliki and his National Security Advisor.
They are tasked with stage-setting and covering up the September 1 hostage-takings and mass executions. This group is headed by a representative of the Intelligence Ministry in the embassy.
Growing abhorrence on part of the international community of Maliki and his masters in Tehran for the crime against humanity in Ashraf has turned such stage-setting quite essential to them. Joint statement by two UN Working Groups and four Special Rapporteurs on December 9 and registered legislation at U.S. House on December 11 regarding the attack of September 1 has raised rage and fear within the Iraqi government and the Iranian regime.
The group of 18 agents of intelligence and Qods Force were escorted to Camp Ashraf by Diyala Police special forces that had been sent to Baghdad by head henchman Jamil Shemmeri. In Ashraf they were received by elements of the Prime Ministry and Iraqi Army Intelligence who are stationed there.
An Arabic language translator from the embassy and several intelligence agents under cover of reporters from regime’s central news unit and radio and television, and a TV station called Kosar, plus a number of agents affiliated with regime’s embassy who are stationed in Mohajer Hotel in Baghdad are among people who have gone to Ashraf. Amongst those dispatched from Iran, elements affiliated with Nejat Association, a branch of MOIS, who had participated in the previous years in the psychological torture of PMOI members with 320 loudspeakers, can also be seen.
Through stage-setting and false reports, these elements take pictures and film from various locations, especially places where mass executions have been carried out. Taking picture and film of other buildings, parking lots, warehouses, mosque and gasoline station is also part of their mission. It seems these films are Maliki’s present to the Iranian regime following his trip to Tehran and Mashhad.
On Monday, December 16, concurrent with presence of these elements, commanders and officers from Iraq’s ground forces, Tigris Operations, and the police force flew with helicopters to the base of Army Brigade 19 in northern section of Ashraf occupied by Iraqi forces in 2011.
Government of Iraq that brazenly claims it was totally unaware of the September 1 assault and has no information as to who has executed PMOI members with tied hands and abducted them; will doubtless, despite extensive presence of its forces in various sections of Ashraf, claim that it is unaware of this volume of people who had gone to Ashraf on Monday and as to who are the people busy setting stages in different sections of Ashraf and taking film or stealing residents’ properties.
Previously, on November 13, six Qods and Intelligence elements — five men and a woman who some of them are also part of this group of eighteen — went to Ashraf for stage-setting and taking pictures and film. Names of a number of them have been revealed in NCRI Secretariat statement of September 24 ,2012, on the assault on Ashraf.
NCRI statement number 93 of November 16 writes in this respect “the mullahs’ regime and Maliki government …need to portray the killing of 52 PMOI members as an internal group cleansing, as well as their need to discover fictitious mass graves, claims of internal executions, and suspicious deaths inside Mojahedin is not a secret and they have frequently and through different channels repeated that.”
