Mojahedin's financial contacts
with foreign terrorists in Norway
 uncovered

IRNA, 24 January 2004

Norway's anti-terror police have uncovered networks for smuggling money from abroad for terrorist groups, including the (terrorist opposition group MKO) Mojahedin-e Khalq.

Aften Posten Daily reported that terrorists in that country receive money from abroad under the cover of small offices.

Apparently, Norway's police, after months of investigating the financial sources of terrorists outside the country, found the sent money in the small offices.

According to the clues police have found, financial aid has gone to the accounts of banned groups like the Mojahedin-e Khalq, Al-Qaida, the Taliban, PKK (Turkey) and the Liberation Army of Kosovo (UCK).

In this regard, a Kurd, an Iraqi, an Iranian (members of the MKO), and people from other nationalities like Afghans, Pakistanis and Algerians have been arrested by Norway's police.

Iran's embassy had warned long time ago about the presence of the MKO under the cover of the NCRI in Norway and had protested at the presence of Parviz Khazaee in Norway, who is facing prosecution in Iran, but the Norwegian government had not paid any attention.
