Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to take the Iranian exile group known as the MEK off the State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, according to CNN

Clinton plans to inform Congress of her decision on Friday, and the formal delisting will take place in the coming days. 

“We don’t love these people but the Secretary’s decision is merited based on the record of facts that we have,” an anonymous U.S. official told CNN. “This was not done casually and it’s the right decision.”
