Bomb attack on Iranian opposition

. The armed Iranian opposition group, the Mujahideen-e Khalq, says a bomb has exploded outside its main office in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

In a statement, the Mujahideen accused Iran of being behind the explosion, which it said took place on Monday.

No one was injured.

There's been no word from Tehran.

In September, Iran attacked a Mujahideen base in Iraq in retaliation for what Iranian officials called acts of mischief by the rebels.
