Three mass graves unearthed in former MKO camp in Iraq  http://english.irib.ir/voj/topics/iraq-over-the-week/item/82179-three-mass-graves-unearthed-in-former-mko-camp-in-iraq 
Iraqi officials say they have unearthed three mass graves inside the Camp New Iraq, which once hosted members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in eastern Diyala province. Odai al-Khadran, mayor of Khalis, about 75 kilometers (47 miles) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, said on Friday that the grisly find was recently discovered in the notorious camp, located about 120 kilometers (74 miles) west of the border with Iran, Mehr News Agency reported.
Khadran highlighted that the Iraqi government plans to evacuate the third batch of MKO terrorists from Camp New Iraq, which was formerly known as Camp Ashraf, within the next few days.
On March 9, Iraqi officials transferred the second batch of nearly 400 members of MKO terrorist outfit to Camp Liberty - a former US military base near Baghdad International Airport.
On February 18, the initial group of 400 MKO members was moved to Camp Liberty.
The relocation of the terrorist MKO group is part of an agreement reached between the United Nations and the Iraqi government in December 2011.
The MKO fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of Iraq's executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up its camp near the Iranian border.
The group is also known to have cooperated with Saddam in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds. The group has carried out numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials.
Iran has repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to expel the group, but the US has attempted to block the expulsion by mounting pressure on the Iraqi government.
