The US State Department has formally removed the Iranian dissident group MEK - or People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran - from its terrorism blacklist.
Leader Maryam Rajavi welcomed the decision - condemned by Tehran - which follows similar moves by Britain and the EU in recent years.
The MEK opposed both the Shah and revolutionary clerics but has long said it has renounced violence. http://www.euronews.net/
