Sale: "They are Iran’s nuclear scientists, and they are being murdered!"

"... Former senior CIA officials said that Israeli terrorists were members of the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) who are paid by Israel to do targeted killings of Iranian nationals. 

“The MEK is being used as the assassination arm of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service,” said Vince Cannistraro, former CIA chief of Counterterrrorism.  He said that the MEK is in charge of executing “the motor attacks on Iranian targets chosen by Israel. They go to Israel for training, and Israel pays them. (...and in turn, they pay American politicians!)”

The MEK has a shadowy and unsavory history.,...... Its most spectacular act of terror was the 1991 near simultaneous attack on 13 countries around the world.

In 2003, the United States listed the NCRI as a terrorist organization and closed its Washington office.  U.S. forces in Iraq captured the MEK’s weapons and turned the MEK over for investigation of terrorist acts. Since then, the group has been peeling off Iranian nuclear scientists one by one.

When I asked Paul Pillar, a 28-year CIA veteran, whether Israel was killing secondary or tertiary scientists instead of its major ones, he replied, “Israel kills any Iranians it can.”

The range of damage caused by the MEK is not confined to merely killing individuals. On Oct. 12, just before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was to arrive in Lebanon, a huge blast destroyed an underground site near the town of Khorramabad in western Iran that housed most of Iran’s Shehab-3 medium-range missiles capable of reaching Israel and Iraq.  A far right wing Israeli website, Debka, reported that Iran has suffered a “devasting blow” to its nuclear program. The blast killed 18 and wounded several more.  The MEK was strongly suspected as the killers, but “There is no conclusive evidence yet,” said Cannistraro, but one former senior U.S. intelligence official said, “Israel did it using the MEK and Kurdish fighters.”..."
