U.S. military protects group on State's terror list
An Iranian opposition group based in Iraq is receiving protection from the American military despite being considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. The MEK is blamed for bombings in Iran but also credited with helping expose Tehran's secret nuclear program. The U.S. designation of MEK as a terror group means no American can give support to its members.
