Iraqi officials: Iranian exiles leave Camp Ashraf

Iraqi officials say the remaining 42 residents of an Iranian dissident camp that was the scene of a disputed outbreak of violence last week have left the compound to join their comrades at a camp near Baghdad airport.

 

Camp Ashraf has been used by the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq dissident group since the 1980s, when Saddam Hussein granted its members asylum. Iraq's postwar leaders have wanted the move the MEK out for years. (AP)
