ADVERTISEMENT At least 400 people were wounded in the unrest sparked when the Iraqi army stormed Camp Ashraf on Tuesday, followed by riot police who were called in to quell resistance by camp residents. The opposition People's Mujahedeen said six camp residents were also killed but there was no independent confirmation of those deaths. Doctor Abdullah al-Timimi from the main hospital in the nearby town of Khales said the two policemen died on Wednesday from injuries sustained the previous day. One had suffered internal bleeding following a blow to the head. The other had been stabbed in the neck, he said. The Iraqi defence ministry was unapologetic about the raid against the camp in Diyala province northeast of Baghdad, saying it was justified under a November security agreement with Washington. "It's our territory and it's our right to enter, to impose Iraqi law on everybody," defence ministry spokesman General Mohammed Askari told Al-Arabiya television. "They (camp residents) have to submit to the law, and to Iraqi sovereignty. The SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) authorises us to do what we did." Under the pact, Iraqi security forces took over responsibility for the camp three months ago from US forces, which had disarmed the 3,500 or so residents following the 2003 invasion which toppled Saddam Hussein. A police official had earlier told AFP that negotiations between Diyala provincial police chief General Abdul Hussein al-Shamari and the Mujahedeen had resulted in the withdrawal of riot police, who were to be replaced by the army. But police were still present inside the camp on Wednesday morning when an AFP correspondent attempted to enter. The police official said 300 camp residents, 25 of them women, had been wounded along with around 110 security force personnel. More than 50 camp residents were detained. Mujahedeen spokesman Shahriar Kia said six camp residents had been killed and 385 wounded. He expressed concern that those arrested would be handed over to Iran, but US State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in Washington that the Iraqi government had given assurances that "no Camp Ashraf resident will be forcibly transferred to a country where they have reason to fear persecution." A US administration official said that Washington -- which still blacklists the Mujahedeen as a terrorist organisation -- had also received assurances that camp residents would be treated in a "humane" manner. The head of the exiled National Council of Resistance of Iran, which includes the Mujahedeen, condemned the raid on the camp and accused Baghdad of doing Tehran's bidding. "This aggression is a flagrant violation of international conventions and the assurances given by the Iraqi government to the United States about the protection of the residents of Ashraf," Maryam Rajavi said in a statement. She charged that Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had ordered the raid in a bid to distract attention from the deadly unrest inside Iran sparked by last month's hotly disputed presidential election. The Iranian government has accused the Mujahedeen of a playing key role in fomenting the protests. The storming of the camp coincided with a visit to Iraq by US Defence Secretary Robert Gates but the top US commander in Iraq, General Ray Odierno, said the US military had no advance warning. The People's Mujahedeen was founded in 1965 in opposition to the shah and has subsequently fought to oust the clerical regime which took power in the 1979 Islamic revolution. The group set up Camp Ashraf in the 1980s -- when Saddam was at war with the Islamic republic -- as a base to operate against the Iranian government.
