Excerpt -
Tehran, 13 August (AKI) - The Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is due to arrive in the Afghan capital Kabul on Tuesday for a visit that will last a few hours before heading to Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. This will be the Iranian leader’s first visit to Afghanistan since assuming office in 2005.
Ahmadinejad’s visit to Kabul, follows last week’s meeting between US president George W. Bush and his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai. At that meeting Bush said that Tehran was “not a force for good” and vowed that the US would continue its efforts to isolate it. He said that Iran had played a unconstructive role in Afghanistan.
In the past few days, even NATO sources have accused Iran of supporting the Taliban.
According to British sources, Iran has for several months been supplying arms and ammunition to the Taliban in their fight against NATO forces in Afghanistan.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20070814-07
August 14, 2007
Iraqi Army, U.S. Special Forces detain high-value rogue JAM Special Groups leader
Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO
BAGHDAD – Soldiers from the 8th Iraqi Army and U.S. Special Forces detained a high-value rogue Jaysh al-Mahdi special groups facilitator during an early morning operation Aug. 12 in An Najaf, Iraq.
The Shi’a extremist operates the Amin Allah Cultural and Humanitarian Establishment in An Najaf and allegedly funnels humanitarian funds through the establishment in order to coordinate rogue JAM activities. The suspect is believed to use the smuggled funds for recruiting foreign fighters, training rogue JAM operatives in lethal attack tactics and trafficking illegal weapons from Iran.
The suspect is also believed to have played a prominent role in the murder of a Chief of Police in Kufa in 2004, and has allegedly facilitated improvised explosive device attacks, which resulted in several coalition deaths.
The suspect is believed to have assembled more than 200 rogue JAM members and ordered them to conduct assassinations on local citizens and government officials who oppose the group’s illegal activities.
No Iraqi or coalition members were harmed during the intelligence-driven operation.
