The group denies any role in the deaths of U.S. military personnel.
Camp Ashraf’s residents surrendered their weapons in 2003 as part of a cease-fire agreement with U.S. forces. The U.S. turned over control of Camp Ashraf to the Iraqi government in June of 2009.
Britain and the European Union took MEK off their lists of terrorist organizations in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
