A HUGE cache of hi-tech bomb-making kit has been seized from terrorist smugglers crossing from Iran into Iraq.

The find included detonators, military-style charges and a whopping 100kg of plastic explosives — enough to flatten a tower block.

Exactly the same technology was used in five devastating roadside bombs that killed eight British soldiers recently.

Iraqi forces seized the cargo in a sparsely-populated border area in desolate Maysan province, which is largely scrub and marshland.

This is the first hard proof of Iran’s highly controversial sponsorship of terrorism against Our Boys in southern Iraq.

Military sources said the leadership in Tehran must have authorised the moving of such a large and lethal consignment.

Last night one said: “It’s inconceivable this sort of highly sophisticated material can cross the border without some very important people in Iran knowing about it.

Isn't Iran one of the KNOWN bad guys...

If we had a decent media who would report about something important, we might have a chance.

I am praying that the national media will realize that the one they serve is not God and not man.

After the constitution is adopted. We'll have to get the Iraqi govt. on board. Then destroy the Iranian "parliament" from the air wih B-2s and F-117s. Destroy the Iranian nuclear program at the same time.

Let the chips fall where they may.

I hope the smugglers were thoroughly interrogated and then shot.
