An Iranian opposition group began turning in its weapons Sunday under a U.S. surrender agreement reached after American forces ordered it to lay down arms or face attack. The deal reached Saturday gave the Mujahedeen Khalq seven days to consolidate its troops in one area and its weaponry in another near Baqubah, 45 miles northeast of the capital, Baghdad. "They are, in effect, turning over their equipment to coalition control," said Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division. "They have been very cooperative." The group began moving equipment on Sunday and was expected to start moving troops within 24 hours, Odierno said.
| They've been very cooperative because they don't want to get blown away. Can we do the Badr Brigade next? Or PKK? |
