Iran summons British ambassador

Following the recent arrest of two members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), Iranian Foreign Ministry has summoned British Ambassador to Tehran Simon Gass to provide an explanation with regards to the allegations that the British government and a number of other Western countries secretly aided and abetted terrorist operations in Iran.

"The Iranian Foreign Ministry expects the British government to take this matter seriously and provide an explanation as soon as possible," read a statement issued on Wednesday.

Founded in the 1960s, MKO is a Marxist guerilla group, which masterminded a slew of terrorist operations in Iran and Iraq -- one of which was the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 Iranian officials were killed.
