German police intercept 11 MKO terrorists at Frankfurt airport

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Berlin, Feb 17, IRNA -- German Federal Border Police intercepted 11 
MKO terrorists at Frankfurt`s Rhein-Main Airport as they tried to 
enter the country following their flight from Amman, Jordan, the daily
Die Tageszeitung said Tuesday. 
Police also confiscated the passports of the MKO terrorists and 
the group is reportedly facing immediate deportation proceedings. 
Some of the 11 MKO terrorists who are allegedly recognized 
asylum-seekers in Germany, might also have their asylum status 
repealed by German authorities. 
The MKO is listed as a terrorist organization by Germany`s 
domestic secret service, Verfassungsschutz. 
The German media reported earlier that hundreds of MKO terrorists 
who are still trapped in Iraq, have been trying to sneak back into 
Europe via Jordan.
