In caverns deep beneath the
Iraqi desert, an Iranian terrorist group that enjoys strong political
support in North American is secretly harboring Saddam Hussein's arsenal of
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, according to one of the movement's
former leaders.
In and exclusive interview with the Citizen, Nooruz Al- Rezvani, an Iranian
national who now lives in Germany, outlined what he witnessed during his
years as a high-level member of the Mojahedin Khalq, a heavily armed
guerrilla faction dedicated to the overthrow of the Iranian government.
The organization has more than a dozen bases in Iraq, including a sprawling
new complex near Baghdad specially built for the group by the Iraqi dictator
last year.
It also has an extensive network outside Iraq, with secret fronts around the
world, including two downtown Ottawa businesses according to CSIS.
Mr. Rezvani said the Mojahedin and other terrorist groups are part of a
massive effort spearheaded by Saddam Hussein, to gather enough weapons of
mass destruction to annihilate North America and Europe.

Other- reports
also suggest Iraq has been working towards a widespread,
anti-western terrorist campaign: Two
defectors from Iraqi intelligence told The New
York Times recently that Saddam has been training militants from a
variety of Islamic countries in terrorist techniques-including airplane
highjackings - at a secret government
camp south of Baghdad since 1995.
Mr.
Rezvani provided the Citizen last
summer with a statement and hand-drawn maps detailing the top-secret
locations of Saddam's arsenal of mass destruction.
Following the Sept. 11 attacks
in New York Washington and Pennsylvania, the Citizen shared those documents
with security officials at the U.S
Embassy, who are investigating Mr. Rezvani's
claims.
