UN calls on Iraq to attack Iranian opposition to the probe team (Christian Science Monitor)

Baghdad, Iraq – United Nations called on Iraq to save the tapot of the Iranian people to an independent study of 34 opposition base after the Iraqi authorities, who authorised the camp suggested the RAID on April 8, the members of the group can run on your own.


Wildly conflicting accounts of how members of the people's Mujahideen Organization of Iran (PMOI) prosessoitiin is highlighted, as well as its predecessors, the former Director of Iraq's Saddam Hussein and the United States invited by the disarmed a group of the last remaining stronghold.


Late Saturday, the UN said in a statement it expected the Commission promised an independent investigation of the Government of Iraq. Planned by the Government of the prime Ministry and of the Commission includes the Iraqi army officials and a cross-section of political parties, and it is unlikely that requirement.


MONITOR QUIZ: Weekly News quiz-April 10-16


Iraqi Government spokesman Ali Dubbagh said earlier this week that some of the dead were likely to be carried out to try to prevent them from leaving the campsite managers.


Adviser to the Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Saad al-Matalabi, said the tests, criminal investigations, which included experts from the US is filled with the bodies to determine whether the medical group, the provisional findings were correct.


"They were shot execution-style," Mr. al-Mutalibi told the monitor. "The first medical reports stated they shot very close to the area – packaging of wounds was found."


He also said, they seem to be shot, instead of on the one hand, and the weapons that the Iraqi army used by the guns.


Camp Ashraf is the deadly April 8 raid


The UN earlier this week confirmed it had seen 28 bodies in the camp, and six other business knew. It said dozens more had been injured before the dawn of April 8 after Iraqi forces moved in with a huge base 70 Miles North of Baghdad as part of the recovery.


It said in a statement that it had repeatedly called on the Government to refrain from the use of force in Iraq.


The Iraqi Government said at the outset, the three members of the PMOI was killed in a military operation and said they had crushed the vehicles move. It denied that the Iraqi soldiers had fired at demonstrators trying to stop the soldiers from moving to the area, which houses the organizationâ € ™ s cemetery. Speaking to reporters after the deck to camp Ashraf but denied speaking to the members of the Iraqi army in the Baltic Sea camping site family Heide officials appear slingshots and home-made weapons, which they said had been used to attack the PMOI Iraqi soldiers. Women, they said, had tried to gouge eyes of soldiersâ € ™.


Released by group, heavily edited and impossible to verify, the video shows the Iraqi soldiers, firing weapons in the show, as well as the crushing some of the demonstrators, the battle of the vehicle. The second video released the bodies of the PMOI, many of them women, wrapped in white sheets and the Deputy Minister within the camp as the layout of lines in the street showed last week.


Iraqi officials say nearly one-third of the more than 3,000 people in camp Ashraf is foreign passports, including the Americans, and many Europeans. There was some doubt about whether they are among the dead. Some diplomats say, the number of foreign passports is much smaller, even if a thousand residents of the camp in the Western countries have ties.


US considers PMOI terrorist offences


The United States considers a terrorist organization but is the PMOI, said in the past, it is returned from the bar, where they are not personally wanted the members of the legal authorities. Although Iraq has made clear that it intends to shut down the camp before the end of the year, such as the Organization for security and cooperation in Europe of members of the cult, to refuse to leave, and other countries are reluctant to take them.


The Iraqi Government has been intense pressure on Iran years to close the camp.


Camp Ashraf was invited by Saddam Hussein of Iraq will launch attacks on Iran in the 1980 's the Organization's main military base.

PM calls on Arab reform not repression (AFP)

KUWAIT CITY (AFP) – David Cameron has said that "reform--not repression" holds the key to stability in the Arab world, as protests throughout the region overshadowed his trade visits in Kuwait.


The day after, he became the first foreign leader to visit Cairo since February 11 fall of Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, said Cameron Tuesday, the Arab incursions, gave the region a "precious moment of opportunity" for reform.


"For decades, some have argued that the stability required extremely control regimes, and to the reform and openness would bring that stability in danger," the Prime Minister said in a speech to Kuwait's Parliament.


But this was a "false choice", he argued. "As recent events have confirmed that deny people their fundamental rights does not preserve stability, rather vice versa."


Cameron said the most robust society occupied central building blocks such as democratic government accountability, freedom to communicate and the freedom to learn and work.


"In short, reform--not oppression--is the only way to maintain stability," he said.


Cameron was accompanied by 36 business leaders on his visit to the Gulf to what had long been planned as a trade trip. A stop in Cairo was added at the last minute after Mubarak case.


From premier agreed with Kuwait on Tuesday to double two-way trade and investment, which currently stands at $ 3.2 billion by 2015.


But the inclusion of defence companies, Thales, BAE Systems and QinetiQ in his delegation asked critics at home to question if the United Kingdom should be trying to sell arms in a region where Governments cracking on the protests.


"The defence-related industry is of vital importance to the United Kingdom but many people will be surprised that the Prime Minister this week of all weeks may consider strengthening arms sales to Middle East," Anonymous Jones, defence spokesman for Labour opposition party, told the newspaper the guardian.


Denis MacShane, former Labour Foreign Office minister, told the paper: "It shows the insensitivity and crassness of a high order of the Prime Minister to take weapons salesmen with him on his Middle East trip".


But Cameron rejected criticism, noting that his visit to Kuwait was timed to coincide with events marking the 20th anniversary of the Gulf war, triggered by the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's invasion of the country.


"I seem to remember we spent a lot of work and life in the armed forces and helps defend Kuwait," Cameron told reporters traveling with him.


"So the idea that the United Kingdom should not have defence relations with some of these countries, I do not understand. It is quite true that we do, "insisted from premier.


In Cairo met Cameron field marshal Hussein Tantawi, Egypt's de facto leader, just 10 days after Mubarak faced an unprecedented popular uprising.


Cameron, in front of Kuwait's National Assembly, also extend its condemnation of the "appalling" punishment on the person protesters Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi security forces.


"Violence is not the answer to the people's legitimate aspirations. Do not use force to resolve complaints, only Multiply them, "he said.


The British Prime Minister said the reform could also play its part in this VAT Islamic extremism, says people often turned to violence, when they were denied a voice or employment.

Protests since January as the leaders of Egypt have overthrow and Tunisia were driven by ideology, but of "an expression of the wish of a new generation of hungry for political and economic freedoms."

Cameron stressed that the reform was "a key part of the antidote of the extremism that threaten the security of us all."
