Although in recent months Camp Ashraf's residents have swapped their once-mandatory olive green military fatigues for civilian garb, both Iraq and the U.S State Department consider the MEK a terrorist group. In 2003, the U.S military disarmed Ashraf. (After a legal battle, the European Union removed the organization from its terrorist list in January; the United Kingdom...

Now, a months-long push by the Sri Lankan military appears to have mortally wounded the group, considered by the United States a terrorist organization, trapping the Tigers (and thousands of Tamil civilians) on a narrow strip of land. As the government closes in, Prabhakaran's whereabouts are unknown. He could be dead, he could be alive, he could have already left the country - regardless, he remains the most influential person in Sri Lanka...
