U.S. seizes bombs made from Iran parts,

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. officers said Monday they had discovered a factory 
for assembling sophisticated roadside bombs from Iranian-made components 
— the first such facility uncovered in a religiously mixed province 
north of Baghdad.

The officers, who displayed weapons for reporters at a U.S. base in the 
capital, said the find provides more evidence that the Iranians are 
providing weapons used to kill Americans. They include EFPs — 
explosively formed projectiles — that fire a slug of molten metal 
capable of penetrating armored vehicles and have been blamed for killing 
more than 170 U.S. and coalition soldiers since 2004.

Markings indicated the parts were made after the U.S.-led invasion 
nearly four years ago, which would rule out that they were leftovers 
from the 1980-88 Iraq-Iran war.

Military officials also said the cache — buried in two freezers and a 
water container, with some of the rockets covered by tarps — was the 
largest of its kind to be found north of Baghdad.
