U.S. Continues To Find Iranian Missiles And Advanced Weapons In Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. military accused Iran on Sunday of smuggling surface-to-air missiles and other advanced weapons into Iraq for use against American troops.
The new allegations came as Iraqi leaders condemned the latest U.S. detention of an Iranian in northern Iraq, saying the man was in their country on official business.
Military spokesman Rear Adm. Mark Fox said U.S. troops were continuing to find Iranian-supplied weaponry including the Misagh 1, a portable surface-to-air missile that uses an infrared guidance system.
Other advanced Iranian weaponry found in Iraq includes the RPG-29 rocket-propelled grenade, 240 mm rockets and armor-piercing roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, Fox said.
An American soldier was killed Saturday and another wounded when an EFP hit their patrol in eastern Baghdad, the military said.
Iran has denied U.S. allegations that it is smuggling weapons to Shiite militias in Iraq, a denial that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” aired Sunday.
“We don’t need to do that. We are very much opposed to war and insecurity,” said Ahmadinejad, who arrived in New York Sunday to attend the U.N. General Assembly. “The insecurity in Iraq is detrimental to our interests.”
Tensions between Iran and the United States have worried Iraqi officials—many of whom are members of political parties with close ties to Tehran.
A 240 mm rocket was fired this month at the main U.S. headquarters base in Iraq, killing one person and wounding 11.
U.S. officials said the rocket was fired from a west Baghdad neighborhood controlled by Shiite militiamen.

That 240mm “Fat-rocket” wiped out the son-in-laws’ bicycle, luckily he wasn’t on it at the time. So, with their rocket parts and name plates all over the place, it’s kinda hard not to wonder who’s in charge if this Chimp spokesman for Iran says he knows notin about such things.
September 23rd, 2007 at 4:27 pmThis is an established fact…that has been re-established over and over again…So WTF are we going to do about it?
Adm Fallon has said that we would interdict border transfers of weapons from Iran. Fuck that shit. I got a better idea. How bout we drop the house on Tehran.
Anyone who thinks that just talking about this shit to these irhabi apostates is going to change the facts on the ground is fucking stuck on stupid.
This stuff will not end until we make Iran feel some pain.

I wonder who the leaders are? Remember you are reading an article from the AP, lines like that are shit some elf dicked little bitch puts in to slant a story without using any actual quotes that can be attributed to someone and then verified.

Put me in charge and those C__ksuckers will never worry again. Time to choose sides Mr. Politician. If they’re tied to Iran they’d better run to dig in cuz the shit’s hittin’ the fan STAT.
The so called Iranian Businessman can go back after the lobotomy and implants are in place.
September 23rd, 2007 at 6:23 pmHi,
I am off to watch 60 minutes.
I heard that they ask ‘dick head’ about Iran weapons in Iraq…
He lies and says there are none and they are not supplying any.
I guess these lies are what Columbia University ‘academics’… what to hear and believe.
Screw both and all of them!
Peace!
