Iran Says Albania Should Take MEK Threat Seriously

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kana'ani noted the developments at the Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization base in Manez, and underlined that Albania Should take the threats posed by MEK seriously. 

The elements of anti-Iran Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as MEK, NCRI or PMOI) terrorist group will always pose a threat to the security of their host due to their terrorist nature, Kana'ani tweeted. 

Be said thay for this reason, the Iraqi government expelled them and other governments refused to accept them. 

"We hope that the Albanian government will make up for its mistake in hosting these terrorists," he added. 

Police in Albania have raided a camp belonging to the anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) due to its involvement in "terror and cyber attacks" against foreign institutions. 

Clashes erupted when police attacked the camp, known as Ashraf-3, in the northwest of the capital Tirana, on Tuesday. 

Reports said one person was killed and dozens of others were injured in the clashes. 

Albania’s Special Court Against Crime and Corruption authorized the operation due to concerns that the MKO had been involved in terror and cyber attacks, the interior ministry said in a statement.
