Camp Ashraf or Ashraf City was a camp in Iraq's Diyala Governorate, having the character of a small city with all basic infrastructure, and headquarters of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK).[1][2] The population used to be around 3,400 in 2012, but in 2013 nearly all were relocated to Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport after pressure by then-prime minister Nouri al-Maliki's office.[3]
Camp Ashraf (aka FOB Grizzly) is situated 96 kilometers (59 mi) north of Baghdad near the town of Al Khalis. On January 1, 2009, United States formally transferred control over to the Iraqi government.[1] From 2003 to 2013, Camp Ashraf was attacked several times, the worst being on April 8, 2011 when the Iraqi Army raided the camp and killed as many as 34 people and wounded 318 more.[4] On September 1, 2013, an attack was directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and conducted by Iranian proxy militias Kata'ib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl al-Haq killing 52 civilians, with numerous prisoners being taken to Tehran following the raid.
