The Wall Street Journal<\/strong> November 26 – While America was feasting on Thanksgiving meals and watching football, the European Parliament passed a resolution calling for the U.S. to remove the People\u2019s Mujahideen of Iran from its list of foreign terrorist organizations, the Wall Street Journal reported.<\/p>\nThe group, which aims to overthrow the Iranian government, has been on the U.S. list since 1997, when the Clinton administration put it there to curry favor and get cooperation with Tehran. It says it\u2019s renounced violence since 2001, and the European Union removed it from its list of terrorist organizations in 2009.<\/p>\n
Support for the resolution in the parliament was nearly unanimous, the Journal reported. The State Department didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
In July, a federal appeals court ordered the State Department to reconsider its decision to keep the group on its list. Removing the group from the list would unfreeze its assets and property under U.S. jurisdiction, and allow it to operate freely with U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n
