Six die in attack on Iranian refugees ROCKETS and mortar bombs have struck a refugee camp for Iranian exiles next to Baghdad's international airport, killing six people and wounding about 40. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack, noting that Iraq is responsible for the safety of the camp residents. The government said was investigating, but asked the international community to speed up the resettlement of the refugees. The camp houses members of Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or MEK, the militant wing of a Paris-based Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Iraq's Shi'ite-led pro-Iranian government considers MEK a terrorist group and is eager to have it out of the country. The refugee camp, located in a former American military base known as Camp Liberty, is meant to be a temporary way station while the UN works to find host countries for the refugees. They are unlikely to return to Iran because of their opposition to the regime. Two police officials confirmed six people were killed in Saturday's attack and said more than 40 were hurt, including three Iraqi policemen. Before being moved to the Baghdad area camp, members of the MEK lived in another camp, called Ashraf, in northeastern Iraq. Camp Ashraf was twice raided by Iraqi security forces trying to impose control, leaving more than three dozen people dead. Iraq's government says MEK members are living in Iraq illegally. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antnio Guterres, condemned the attack and noted that camp residents were asylum seekers requesting refugee status and are entitled to international protection.
