The Los Angeles Times gives credence to Irans bogus claim that the US is behind two recent attacks in Iran: Iran alleges U.S. link to militant attack.
TEHRAN Bullet cartridges bearing a U.S. insignia and English lettering were among the weaponry seized last week from Sunni militants suspected of killing 11 members of Shiite-dominated Irans elite Revolutionary Guard, Iranian officials said Sunday.
A photo of the cartridge box, along with an array of other ammunition, was published by Iranian newspapers and news agencies.
Iran did not provide access to the weapons and explosives, drawing skepticism from analysts, and there was no way of evaluating the claims independently. But Tehran is clearly worried that the U.S. is quietly helping Iranian opposition groups foment instability, even while the Bush administration is confronting Iran over its nuclear program and accusing it of arming Shiite militants in Iraq.
The Iranian allegations came a week after U.S. officials laid out what they said was evidence of Iranian-made weapons in Iraq. That evidence also was inconclusive, and Iran denied supplying arms to Iraqi combatants.

I'm sure the malkinites are all over it too. :o)
Wasn't the USA a large provider of weapons to Iran during the Shah's days?
Wake me up when the LAT publishes something factual. *That* would indeed be breaking news.
LOL! You'll be waiting awhile.
The MSM doesn't know that. And it's not what they want to report, anyway.
Compare the pattern of the tile in the two photos.

LA Times reprints a Farse from the Fars News Agency. Was this an intentional blow-up of the ammo box in the foreground of the second screen? Those are some purty big and shiny bullets!
I'm glad LGF keeps on top of this stuff.
