Bahrain Mirror: The Islamic Republic of Iran accused Saudi Arabia of backing terrorism on Sunday (July 11, 2016) after a senior Saudi prince and former intelligence chief Turki al-Faisal addressed a Paris rally held by exiled Iranian terrorist armed group, People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI), and told them he wanted the Iranian government to fall.

"The Saudis are resorting to well-known terrorists... as they have also done in Iraq, Yemen and Syria. This shows that they use terrorism and terrorists to further their aims against regional Islamic countries," a Iranian Foreign Ministry source was quoted by Iran's state news agency IRNA as saying.

"It could be expected from the creators of Taliban, al-Qaeda and the partner of Zionists to show a new example of their government's political stupidity by attending the summit of bankrupt terrorist mercenaries," the source added.

The militant group, which seeks the overthrow of Iran's leadership established by the 1979 Islamic revolution, is also known by its Persian name Mujahideen-e-Khalq Organisation (MKO).
