BAGHDAD — Iraq plans to move members of an Iranian opposition group from a camp north of Baghdad to remote areas elsewhere in the country as it steps up efforts to rid itself of a major source of tension with Iran, a top government official said Friday.
Iraq’s Shiite-led government has long sought to get rid of members of the People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, which fought alongside Sad dam Hussein’s forces during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States as well as Tehran.
National Security Adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie gave no timeframe for the move, but he warned that they must leave Iraq eventually.
