From a National Post article:
“In 1979, the MEK announced that, ‘After the Shah, it's America's turn.’ And that same day, MEK members took part in the storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. U.S. hostages were held captive, with MEK help, for 444 days”: Reprinted here:

“Iraq shelters terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.”:

Funny how Iraq was evil to shelter them, but it was OK for the US to do so.

“MEK members actively took part in the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, according to a U.S. government report.”

Maybe that's a crappy source, huh. How about this one?:

From the report:
“MEK perpetrated bombings and assassinations, after the aborted maiden effort in 1971, resumed in 1972. The organization’s targets included US military advisors stationed in Iran. For example, the MEK claimed responsibility for the assassination of US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Hawkins in 1973, the assassination of US Air Force Colonel Paul Schaeffer in 1975, and the assassination of US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner, also in 1975. The MEK also targeted US civilians associated with defense projects (five killed in 1976)…the MEK was also intimately involved in the takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Eyewitnesses and MEK documents indicate that the MEK led the assault on the Embassy and then pleaded with Khomeini not to engage in dialogue with the United States government, nor release the American hostages seized during the action. In fact, Congressional testimony indicates that Rajavi insisted to Khomeini that there was much more to gain by holding the hostages than by releasing them."

Do you know a guy named John McCain? At his request, the FBI wrote a report on the MEK which was given to the 103rd Congress (Go to thomas.gov/ , click on Congressional Record, then on 103rd Congress, and search “MEK”. Results = “Supporting the Right Opposition Groups in Iran and Iraq”) The following (in the next post) is from that report.

That's like OBL saying that he is not a terrorist. The NCRI is a front for the MEK, and they are listed as a terrorist group as well.
Also, from the Economist magazine:
“A front for the Mujahideen, the National Council of Resistance of Iran…”
