Iran Press/ Europe: The MKO has been responsible for numerous assassinations and bombings against Iranian statesmen and civilians since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The group fled Iran in 1986 to Iraq, where they received support from former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
The MKO's acts of terror have resulted in the deaths of nearly 12,000 Iranians out of the nearly 17,000 killed in terrorist assaults since the Islamic Revolution. Despite this history of violence, MKO terrorists continue to operate freely in the US and Europe and even hold regular meetings where European and American officials make speeches.
Albania's Interior Ministry issued a statement on Tuesday regarding the terrorist activities of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) terrorist group and explained the clashes that occurred between the group's forces and Albanian police earlier that day. According to reports from Albanian media, several people were injured during a police inspection of an MKO base in Manez.
The clashes resulted in the death of one MKO terrorist and dozens of injuries, with six terrorists reportedly in critical condition. In response to the incident, Albania's Interior Ministry stated that the police operation was carried out in accordance with the law and an order issued by the anti-terrorism court.
In this statement, it is stated that a number of other members of this terrorist organization have gone to the hospital as a result of inhaling pepper gas, and some of them are reported to be in serious condition.
The ministry also noted that an agreement reached between Albania and the MKO terrorists in 2014 allowed for their asylum in Albania for humanitarian reasons, but they have violated this agreement by engaging in terrorist and cyber activities. During the operation, Albanian police took control of the terrorists' base for an hour and inspected their offices and electronic devices.
