They refer to a closed meeting that Ali Khamen'ei, the Grand Guide for the Islamic Revolution in Iran, has held with Al Quds Brigade, which is well-known for its activities on Iraqi lands. During the meeting, they restricted the activities of the brigade to shaking security and attempting to forces the coalition forces to withdraw from the cities, through executing terrorist attacks. A commander in the brigade, which is under the Iranian Revolutionary guards, praised the achievements that were accomplished during the past months. These are represented in forcing the Americans to resort to camps with high walls (approximately 10 meters high), which are several kilometers away from Iraqi cities.

The official of Al Quds Brigade said, "The American companies are not supposed to be working on the reconstruction." He confirmed that Al Qids Brigade and the local Iraqi groups, which are affiliated to it, are in control for taking the initiative. The meeting dealt with the possibility of reaching a bargain of controlling sneaking from Afghanistan and central Asia to Iraq in return for taking actions against Mujahidi Khalq Organization, which is based in Diala province (Ashaf Camp), which enjoys international protection pursuant to Geneva agreements.

Among the specific objectives of Al Quds Brigade are instigating the residents in the south, through propaganda campaigns conducted by the groups affiliated to Iran, to expel the Americans from Iraq as soon as possible, considering that Iraqi people cannot withstand the remaining of Americans in Iraq for long. Speakers in the meeting that was attended by the high-ranking officials of Al Quds Brigade, including Qassem Sulaimani and Ahmed Feruzenda, referred to pushing matters into public threats against the presence of Arab countries in Iraq, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt.

NOTES*** GAZA CITY, October 27, 2005 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – An Israeli drone fired three missiles into a white Subaru traveling between Jabaliya refugee camp and Beit Lahiya just north of Gaza City, hospital and security sources told Agence France-Presse (AFP). The strike killed Shaadi Muhanna and Mohammed Qandeel, two members of Al-Quds Brigade, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance group.

Meanwhile, reports confirm the desire of the Iranian government to address messages to the United States through Iraq. Within this context, they dealt with the visit of Ahmed Al Jilbi, Iraqi deputy prime minister, to Tehran before heading to the United States.

NOTES*** The Iranian support to the majority of classes of Shiite parties is not a surprising matter. In addition, the reports that refer to the link between Hezbollah and Iraq are not new. Iraqi officials have confirmed that the Lebanese Hezbollah has received so many facilities in the south of Iraq. In addition, there is also the Iraqi Hezbollah, which has close ties with Ahmed Al Jilbi and its leader Abdel Kareem Al Muhamadawi has been appointed in the ruling Iraqi council in 2003. Undoubtedly, the political process in Iraq is advancing according to the Iranian desire and is moving towards ensuring powerful Shiite control over Iraq, as required by the Iranian interests.

The reports state that Iran, whose crisis has aggravated with the international community after the statements of President Ahmadi Najad, relating to Israel, has confirmed to Al Jilbi that it is ready to support him for reaching the premiership, despite his withdrawal from the Shiite Coalition and creating a new slate for entering the coming parliamentary elections.
