Rep. Ros-Lehtinen defends Iranian group labeled terrorist front for Saddam
Hussein
By Sam Dealey

A senior lawmaker on the House International Relations committee has
defended
her ongoing support for a group the State Department says is a terrorist
organization fighting against coalition troops in Iraq.

"This group loves the United States. They're assisting us in the war on
terrorism; they're pro-U.S.," said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) in an
interview with The Hill.

The group, known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), is an Iranian opposition
group
in Iraq. The U.S. intelligence and diplomatic community argues that the MEK
is
funded by Saddam Hussein and has engaged in efforts by the Iraqi leader to
suppress Kurd and Shiite uprisings.

The group killed several Americans during the 1970s. It also participated in
the
1979-1981 U.S. Embassy seizure in Tehran. In 1997, the MEK and its various
appendages were designated a "foreign terrorist organization."
