“Iran-Backed Groups Using Secret Arms Stores: U.S”.
Sunday, February 17, 2008 11:14 PM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “BAGHDAD — The U.S. military said on Sunday it had evidence Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias in Iraq were increasingly using secret weapons stores to attack U.S. and Iraqi forces.
The accusation comes days after Tehran postponed talks with the United States on improving security in Iraq for “technical reasons,” a move that prompted rebukes from U.S. officials.
“In just the past week, Iraqi and coalition forces captured 212 weapons caches across Iraq, two of those inside Baghdad, (which have) growing links to Iranian-backed special groups,” military spokesman Real Admiral Gregory Smith told reporters.
The military uses the term “special groups” to describe rogue elements in the Mehdi Army militia of Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. It says these militants get weapons, funding and training from neighboring Iran.”
