NCRI – The Search Foundation of Australia raised its concern over the Iranian regime’s terrorism in a letter to Iraqi Prime Minister. The following is the text of his letter:
On the morning of 29 May 2006, a bus transporting Iraqi workers from Al Khalis, Diyala Province, to the nearby "Ashraf city", home to the Iranian opposition movement, People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI), was targeted by a road side explosive device and 13 workers were killed and 15 others wounding.
This terrorist attack comes in the wake of several threats made by the Iranian regime to the Iraqi authorities regarding the presence of the PMOI in Iraq and has all the characteristics of the recurrent terrorist attacks masterminded by the Iranian regime in Iraq. It was carried out just one day after the Iranian Foreign Minister visited Iraq.
We in the SEARCH Foundation express our condolences to the Iraqi authorities, the PMOI and, in particular to the Al Khalis population and the families of the victims of yet another attack by the fanatic regime in Tehran.
We urge the Australian government to press the Iranian regime to cease its policy of promoting terrorism in Iraq. We also call on the Iraqi Government to grant political asylum to the PMOI members in Ashraf who have currently the status of Protected Persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
