WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States expressed concern on Wednesday over Iraqi threats to force an Iranian dissident group out of a camp in Iraq, but it also urged members of the group to relocate voluntarily to a large former U.S. military base in Baghdad.

The United Nations also voiced concerns and urged both the Iraqi government and the Iranian dissidents to avoid violence.
