 Fighting continued for a second day on Wednesday between Iraqi soldiers and members of an Iranian opposition group whose camp was stormed Tuesday on orders from Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.The US is obligated to the MEK (People's Mujahedin of Iran, Mujaheddin-e Khalq) because it provided information about Iran's nuclear program and because US officials promised to protect them after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. MEK member Behzad Saffari said that Iraqi troops were stopping injured people going to hospitals outside the group's camp Ashraf. The objective of storming the MEK Camp Ashraf was to establish an Iraqi police station inside the camp. Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the Iraqi Government "intends to assert its sovereignty on all sites and facilities that were controlled by foreign troops, and Camp Ashraf is no exception."
