Insurgents infiltrating Iraq from Iran as well as Syria The United States talks about insurgency infiltration to Iraq from Syria, but the U.S. military faces a similar and growing problem from Iran. U.S. officials said Iran has increased infiltration of insurgents and weapons over its western border into Iraq. The infiltration is greatest in northern and southern Iraq. Infiltration from Iran has been nothing new. What is new is that Iran is sending larger insurgency forces with plenty of bombs, particularly to the Basra area. The suspicion is that Iran wants to destabilize southern Iran to accelerate pullout plans by the U.S.- led coalition. On July 20, Iraqi border police intercepted 20 insurgents attempting to enter from Iran. Iraqi police opened fire on the insurgents, who dropped their weapons and equipment about 90 kilometers north of Basra and fled to their bases in Iran. What the insurgents left behind provided Iraqi and coalition investigators with a strong idea of what the Iranian agents intended to do. The equipment included 228 pounds of TNT, 29 electric detonators, four shaped charges projectiles, electrical wire, one rocket- propelled grenade launcher, one transmitter, two modified passive infrared devices, seven batteries, four antennas and 270 pounds of C4 explosives. ------------------------ Yahoo!
