Struan Stevenson, a leading member of the European Parliament, sounded desperate as he appealed to the Obama administration to prevent a "human catastrophe" among Iranian exiles in Iraq.

"America is leaving behind the biggest mess I've ever seen," he told Embassy Row this week, complaining about President Obama's decision to pull out U.S. troops by the end of the year.

Mr. Stevenson, a frequent visitor to Iraq, said the government is weak, sectarian tensions are high and Iran is poised to turn Iraq into a proxy state.

However, he is most worried about the fate of 3,400 disarmed Iranian dissidents living in a former military camp about 40 miles north of Baghdad.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has called the exiles terrorists and ordered the camp closed by the end of the year.

 THE MP for Hendon, Matthew Offord joined cross-party MPs, Peers and jurists to call on the United Nations for the immediate protection of refugees in Iraq this week.The group has appealed for blue-helmet UN security forces to be stationed at Camp Ashraf to guard residents from another major attack by the Iraqi army when US forces leave at the end of the year.

Thursday, 27 October 2011 11:55 .STRASBOURG (European Parliament), October 26, 2011 (AFP) - More than 120 MEPs demanded in a petition to postpone the closure of Camp Ashraf, Iraq, where some 3,400 Iranian refugees opposed to the Tehran regime may be "killed", said Wednesday the promoters of this initiative.

 Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described the plot by Iranian regime's Quds Force to assassinate Saudi Ambassador and to explode foreign embassies in the United States as a new stage of export of terrorism by this regime and a blatant declaration of war against international conventions and the world community.
