Mousawi had said earlier that there is evidence to suggest that the MKO had a hand in murdering Iraqi citizens and arrest warrants have been issued for 150 MKO members, including ringleaders Maryam Rajavi and Masoud Rajavi.
Asked if the MKO members would be extradited to Iran after they are arrested and put on trial in Iraq, Mousawi told the Mehr News Agency that this is an entirely Iraqi issue, and the criminal tribunal can not just hand people who have committed crimes against Iraq over to Iran.
However, Iran can arrest and try them through Interpol, he added.
Tehran and Baghdad have no extradition agreement but it is possible that such an agreement will be signed in the future, he stated.
