Miriam Rajavi, the leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, adjusts her head scarf as she attends a meeting with members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, December 15, 2004. Rajavi came to Strasbourg to discuss about the current human rights situation in Iran.

Miriam Rajavi is the head of the Mojahedin-e Khalq. She directs the actions of her ultra-violent Terrorist group. After Rajavi took control of the Mojahedin-e Khalq she came to terms with Ayatollah Khomeini. It did not last long since Khomeini's Jaffari Shia Islam was very much in conflict with the Marxist feminism with Islamic overtones of Miriam Rajavi and the Mojahedin-e Khalq. In their rather public brake with Khomeini they murdered 71senior Iranian leaders assassinated in bombings by MEK in 1981. Prime Minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar was one of those murdered as well as most of the Islamic Republic Party leadership.

Forced out of Iran Rajavi led the Mojahedin-e Khalq to Iraq where they were a military unit in Saddam Hussein's military. The MKO has a 30 year history of murder and violence. From murdering US Servicemen to mortar attacks on civilian apartment houses MKO has killed around the world.
