Aug. 15, 2007 (LPAC)--The Turkey-based Press TV reported on Aug. 15 that the public prosecutor of the Iraqi High Tribunal, Jaffar al-Mousawi, has stated that investigations revealed Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MeK) members have played a leading role in the 1991 killing of Iraqi civilians, and will be prosecuted. The investigations found that MeK leaders worked in alliance with former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, in the killings. The prosecutor said that 150 members and leaders of the anti-Iran MeK will be prosecuted.

The Iraqi government of Nouri al-Maliki is beginning these prosecutions of MeK terrorists, ironically, as the Cheney-Bush White House is making clear preparations for a coup against Maliki in favor of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.

While there is little doubt that the MeK is out and out a terrorist outfit, the question has always been, who owned them. On July 31, Iraq's National Security Counselor, Fazel al-Shavili, said in an interview with Al-Alam TV channel, that Saudi Arabian princes provide financial support to the tune of $30 million a month to MeK, the anti-Iran terrorist group in Iraq.

Although the Iraqi official did not name the Saudi princes, VP Dick Cheney's close relations with Prince Bandar bin Sultan raises the question whether the Saudis were funding MeK as a part of their Cheney-instigated anti-Iran policies within Iraq. Beside the fact that the question was asked by Iranian authorities earlier, the same question has been asked also by a few others, since the MeK operates from Iraq's western borders--controlled by the U.S. occupation forces.
