In a rare report BBC Newsnight revealed that some elements of Bush administration are seeking to use MKO (or MEK), a proscribed terrorist organisation on both sides of the Atlantic, to reach out the Sunni insurgents in Iraq.
The programme, broadcast Wednesday night on 17 January, contains shocking revelations on how the Americans were thinking of using a group which even their own government has openly recognised as a terrorist organisation.
Tim Whewell in this report said that in April 2003 Iran offered to withdraw military backing for Hezbollah and Hamas. In return, Tehran wanted help to disband a fanatical group called the People's Mujahadeen (MKO) - but was rejected.
