Iranian exiles : Iraqi troops came into the camp and killed dozens of Iranian refugees

Uh oh.

Iraq defends actions at Iranian exile camp

Baghdad (CNN) -- Iraq defends its actions at a refugee camp sheltering Iranian dissidents, saying Friday it imposed "law and order" after members of an exile group there attacked Iraqi security forces.

The incident occurred at Camp Ashraf in Diyala province, where the People's Mujahedeen of Iran is based. The PMO, also known as the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization, has opposed the Iranian government for decades.

The Iranian exiles in Iraq said that Iraqi security forces invaded their refugee camp and killed at least 31 people. Hundreds more were injured in the assault at Camp Ashraf, the PMO said.

But Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said members of the PMO left the camp and hurled stones at security forces, wounding five of them. He said the rioting required forces to bring residents back to the camp.

People's Mujahedeen representatives have posted videos online showing what appear to be Iraqi troops shooting at small crowds of men and at least one case of a military vehicle ramming into a man. They also show at least seven dead and an unclear number of wounded men.

CNN could not confirm that the videos, which are edited, were filmed at the camp overnight.

First... MeK are branded terrorists organization by the US and EU but are now ``non-terrorists``... for political reasons... but they still are doing violent things in Iran and Iraq.

Second... Who really started this? Iranian refugees getting pissed for whatever reason? Someone on either side starting trouble for the bigger picture? Iran-Iraq war 2? Iran-West war?

This isn't good news. Hopefully it calms down...
