Jim Kouri
The British government has shown American intelligence officials information indicating that Iran is operating "training camps" for bombers who carry out terrorist attacks on coalition forces, Iraqi security forces and civilians. It appears that the training is accelerating in order to create havoc and destabilize the fledgling Iraqi government.

Extremist Islamist cells are inspired by, and in some instances connected to, Al-Qaida. However they operate largely independently from any command and control by this loose international alliance and, to an extent, from any national leadership within the kingdom.

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has revealed that Iran has increased its funding of terrorism against Israel.
"Last month, Iran gave the Islamic Jihad USD 1.8 million, to carry out attacks against Israel," Mofaz told Ynet in an interview.
~Snip:
Mr. Defense Minister, we are a week away from elections. What effort is being made by terror organizations to carry out attacks?
"We know that Iran transferred in the last month USD 1.8 million to the Islamic Jihad organization in order to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel. This is direct aid from Iran, from which most of the money is transferred through Syria, and from there to the Islamic Jihad in the territories."
