In late June, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Britain's envoy in
Teheran, Simon Gass, to discuss the alleged support for Mujahadeen, Middle East Newsline reported. The
ministry presented statements from the interrogation of a captured
Mujahadeen cell that claimed support from Britain, France and Sweden.
The alleged Mujahadeen cell was reported to have been captured on June
15. Officials said the cell was accused of planning attacks in Teheran in
June 2009 during anti-government protests.
Officials said Britain and the United States were helping train
Mujahadeen cells in Iraq. They cited the presence of more than 3,400
Mujahadeen fighters and their families in Iraq's Camp Ashraf.
Mujahadeen has been on the U.S. State Department list of terrorist
groups. Britain, in wake of a court decision earlier in 2010, has been
ordered to remove Mujahadeen from its terror list.
Iran has also accused Britain and the United States of supporting the Al
Qaida-aligned Jund Allah, which operates along the border of Afghanistan and
Pakistan. On June 22, Iran executed Jund Allah commander Abdullah Rigi, under detention, released a confession that claimed Western assistance to the
Sunni insurgency.
