KIEV -- Ukrainian troops based in eastern Iraq picked up about 40 Iranians trying to enter the country illegally at the weekend with assault rifles, Kalashnikovs, hunting guns and ammunition, the defense ministry here said Monday.

The Iranians, travelling in a convoy of three cars and three minibuses, were stopped Saturday at the border with the Shiite Iraqi province of Wasset, the ministry said in a communique, adding that they were planning to join the ranks of guerrillas fighting the US-led occupation.

The seized weapons were taken to a Ukrainian base, while the Iranians were handed over to Iraqi border police, the statement said.

Ukraine has more than 1,650 troops deployed in Iraq.

Good for the Ukranians! Great job, I wonder if the Iraqis will jail them or just deport them back to Iran?
