NCRI – The October 29 terrorist missile attack on Camp Liberty, the home of thousands of members of Iran’s main opposition group near Baghdad, by the Iranian regime’s agents had a “political message,” Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former Vice-President of the European Parliament, has said.
“The Iranian regime is really showing us who and where its main enemy is. I want this to be heard by all government leaders, ministries of foreign affairs, think-tanks and political analysts, they do not need to look very much for the true Iranian opposition. This democratic opposition is the PMOI and especially the residents in Camp Liberty. These are the people that the Iranian regime is very much afraid of. That is why it has to resort to such terrible crimes against them,” Dr. Vidal-Quadras, who is also President of the international committee In Search of Justice (ISJ), said on November 1 at a ceremony held to remember the members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) who were killed in the attack.
The rocket attack left 24 unarmed and defenseless PMOI (MEK) members killed and dozens of others injured.
“This attack was not an attack to scare the residents. It wasn’t an attack to warn the opposition. No; this attack was planned to massacre, to kill all of them – because of the number of rockets, because of the distribution of the hits, and because it was carefully prepared by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence in earlier months.”
“As President of the international committee In Search of Justice, let me say that the international community has a great responsibility on these attacks. The US and UN have repeatedly failed to uphold their commitments for the protection of the residents; therefore we hold them responsible. They must ensure the protection of Camp Liberty,” Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras added.
