Proponents of the move say the group has renounced its violent past and has even provided information on Tehran's nuclear program. The move might help the group's members, once sheltered by Saddam Hussein, finally find homes, reports the Washington Post. About 3,000 have been living in a kind of limbo for years, unwelcome in either Iran or Iraq. Now they'll be able to apply for refugee status and possibly move abroad. The Post says the group has a reputation of being cultlike, however, and nations will likely balk at taking large numbers. Read These Next Doctor left her Alaskan cruise and never returned.
