		Mujaheddins would come to the room in which we were imprisoned and shout: "Hear are the heads of your chetnicks", but I did not see those heads because I was blindfolded.
		Mujaheddins were coming into the room all the time, to beat us with riflebutts, barrels, kick us with their boots.
		Mujaheddins came into the room at all times, holding knives in their hands, which they would put under our necks or in our mouth signaling with their finger across their neck how they were going to slit our throats.

	Special Report
		Maryam Rajavi, considered the first lady of the Mujaheddin, was jailed on June 17 for 10 days, until a French judge ruled that she and her remaining entourage be freed pending judicial proceedings, if any.
		It is clear in retrospect that, because the Mujaheddin were fighting the Iranian army, ordinary Iranians began to believe that they were working against the national interests of their country.
		This writer's guess is that the Mujaheddin and the young Reza Pahlavi may have missed their chance to take over Iran, and that new leaders may emerge from within Iran itself.

	washingtonpost.com: Iran Said to Be Producing Bioweapons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Although the Mujaheddin claimed neutrality in the U.S.-led campaign against Iraq, the Bush administration decided to bomb Mujaheddin bases in an apparent attempt to thaw relations with Iran.
		Mujaheddin officials said the timing of the release of their report on Iran's biowarfare program was unrelated to their problems with the U.S. government.
		Mujaheddin officials were unable to produce hard evidence to support the claim, but they described specific research facilities and named individual scientists who were placed in charge of the effort.

	Crackdown Urged for Iranian Group on U (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The People's Mujaheddin has long been the focus of controversy inside and outside the U.S. government, with some accusing the group of terrorism, including the murder of U.S. citizens, and others arguing that its goal is the overthrow of the world's leading terrorist state.
		Critics depict the Mujaheddin as a terrorist, cultlike organization that has escaped prosecution in the United States only because it is seen in some quarters as a useful pressure point against Tehran.
		Within the government, the fight to declare the People's Mujaheddin a terrorist organization has been led by the State Department's Near East bureau, which has also argued the case for dialogue with Tehran, and the counterterrorism bureau, which is responsible for drawing up the terrorism list.

	How the CIA created Osama bin Laden
		The Soviet Union was eventually to withdraw from Afghanistan in 1989 and the mujaheddin captured the capital, Kabul, in 1992.
		After the mujaheddin took Kabul in 1992, Hekmatyar's forces rained US-supplied missiles and rockets on that city — killing at least 2000 civilians — until the new government agreed to give him the post of prime minister.
		Tom Carew, a former British SAS soldier who secretly fought for the mujaheddin told the August 13, 2000, British Observer, “The Americans were keen to teach the Afghans the techniques of urban terrorism — car bombing and so on — so that they could strike at the Russians in major towns...

	Pacific News Service > News > U.S. Declares Truce With Terrorist Group
		On April 15, the U.S. Central Command negotiated a truce with the People’s Mujaheddin of Iran (Mujaheddin-e Khalq, also known by the acronyms MKO or MEK), which is based in Iraq and fighting to depose Iran’s government.
		The People’s Mujaheddin, which is the militant political core of the National Resistance Council of Iran, constitutes a 10,000 strong paramilitary fighting force, and has been in existence for many decades.
		The de facto leader of the People’s Mujaheddin, Masoud Rajavi (the group is formally led by Rajavi's "political wife" Maryam), met with Saddam Hussein in 1986 at a time when it was widely known in Iran that Iraq was employing poison gas against Iranians.

		The French government claims that the arrests came as a response to intelligence that the Mujaheddin were planning attacks on Iranian diplomatic missions in France and elsewhere in Europe.
		Originally, the Mujaheddin supported Ayatollah Khomeini's government, though due to its radical and socialist ideology the organization was quickly opposed and brutally suppressed-many of them executed-by leaders of the new Islamic Republic.
		Since the Iranian revolution, the Mujaheddin have mostly lived in exile, but are highly organized and have continued to support the overthrow of the current regime.

		Witness N.N. was captured by Mujaheddin while fighting for the Bosnian Serb army on the Vozuca front in July 1995 and was taken to the Gostovici camp where he was held prisoner for 34 days.
		He said Mujaheddin troops had tied up his and the hands and feet of two other Serb prisoners behind their backs, putting knives under their throats and threatening to kill them.
		After that the Mujaheddin removed their blindfolds ordering them to "kiss their brother." The head was then hung on a hook on a wall of their cell and left there.

		But with the triumph of the mujaheddin rebels over Afghanistan's leftist government in April and the demise of the Soviet Union, some intelligence officials involved have decided to reveal how the covert escalation was carried out.
		The move to upgrade aid to the mujaheddin roughly coincided with the well-known decision in 1986 to provide the mujaheddin with sophisticated, U.S.-made Stinger antiaircraft missiles.
		The first antiaircraft systems used by the mujaheddin were the Swiss-made Oerlikon heavy gun and the British-made Blowpipe missile, according to Yousaf and Western sources.

		Nevertheless, on 4 July the Mujaheddin were pre-empted by the Afghan Army, which — with support from the DRAAF - attacked forward rebel positions and took control of the areas around the city.
		During the winter the Mujaheddin attacked the city once again and took control of two government positions, which they were able to hold.
		In October 1991, some Pakistani-supported Mujaheddin fractions attacked Gardez with 300 tanks and artillery pieces they received from Saudi Arabia (most of this material was captured from the Iraqis, in February 1991), which were crewed by former Army officers and a number of foreign mercenaries.

		The Post noted some of the Mujaheddin's Iraq-based military camps came under attack by U.S. forces during the war in an apparent attempt by the Bush administration to thaw relations with Iran.

		It's too pat to say that the Italian TV documentary Jung (War) In The Land Of The Mujaheddin is more inherently watchable now than it would have been on Sept. 10.
		But the severed limbs and bullet holes are clearly real, as are the reactions of the Afghan citizens, frustrated that after two decades and a million casualties, the violence continues with different faces behind the rocket launchers.
		The film includes many surprising moments, from a man on the street who complains that the Taliban is secretly run by "Pakistanis and Americans," to a battle-scarred member of the Mujaheddin who fears giving blood.

		The failure of the mujaheddin's drive to take Jalalabad and the growing frictions among the various guerilla factions forced the new civilian government of Pakistan, led by Benazir Bhutto, to begin to consider a political settlement.

		This may be true, but, in general, he used his own wealth and other Saudi donations to build Mujaheddin projects and spread his brand of Islam among the Afghans.
		With the death of his mentor, Azam, in 1989, bin Laden took over Azam's organization and set up al-Qaida (in Arabic, "the base") as a service center for Arabs working with the Afghan Mujaheddin and their families and to forge a broad-based alliance among the Islamic radicals involved in the struggle for Afghanistan.

		For their part, CIA officers felt the war was not going as badly as some skeptics thought, and they worried that it might not be possible to preserve secrecy in the midst of a major escalation.
		The simulator allowed mujaheddin trainees to aim and fire at a large screen without actually shooting off expensive missiles, Yousaf said.

		Despite the fact that Fahim’s replacement on the election ticket, Ahmad Zia Masood, is the brother of slain war hero Ahmad Shah Masood, many mujaheddin commanders appear inclined to support Karzai’s chief rival for the presidency — Yunus Qanooni.
		Fahim and many other influential Tajik leaders have already announced their support for the candidacy of Qanooni, who is also Tajik.
		One prominent Tajik leader who continues to support Karzai is Burhanuddin Rabbani, who served as Afghan president after mujaheddin forces toppled the Moscow-supported government of Najibullah in 1992.

		In the background was a growing coalition of mullahs and students from madrassas (religious schools) who were deeply appalled by the massive violence of the warring mujaheddin factions and their departure from the original religious purity of the jihad against the Russians.
		Many had been trained at the Afghani Zawar camp by Hekmatyar (who also was instrumental in smuggling the weapons into Kashmir.) The bombings were supported by the ISI and the bin Laden organization in what was described during the 1994 trial as a "proxy war, terrorism sponsored by a neighboring hostile country."

		The preliminary totals indicate that leaders of the Mujaheddin — guerrilla commanders who led the Afghan resistance to the 1979-89 Soviet occupation, and who later fought against each other during the ensuing civil war — will dominate the lower house of the Afghan parliament, or Wolesi Jirga, controlling a majority of the 249 seats.
		Among the high-profile Mujaheddin that Karzai succeeded in sidelining was Mohammad Fahim, who had served as a vice president and defense minister.
		Whether the Mujaheddin leaders will be able to coalesce into a solid parliamentary force that can exert pressure on the president remains questionable.

		Najibullah was also flown in by helicopters during these battles, in order to witness their development for himself.
		The air strikes flown by its Su-22s in the summer of 1996 weakened Massoud's defences so much that the Taliban finally broke into Kabul, and captured not only the city, but also the Baghram AB, where most of the last remaining - even if mainly in-operational — AAF MiG-21s and Su-22s were captured intact.
