Iraqi Forces Arrested Persons And Weapons PROVING Iran’s involvement - Truth Breaks Out In Iraq Part II
How much more proof do we need? The article is from Voices Of Iraq.
Baghdad, Apr 27, (VOI) - A Baghdad security spokesman on Sunday said forces arrested Iranian-backed persons involved in armed operations and also seized Iranian-manufactured weapons.
Speaking at a joint press conference with spokesman for U.S. troops, Admiral Patrick Drescole, Brig. Gen.Qassem Atta said “Iraqi security forces captured Iranian-backed persons involved in armed operations and seized amounts of adhesive improvised explosive devices (IED) along with documents implicating many persons in armed operation with Iranian help.”
The spokesman did provide details about the places where the documents and adhesive IEDs were found, but noted “most of mortars, Katyusha projectiles, and grade rockets found in different parts of Baghdad last March were Iranian-manufactured and brought into Iraq by different means.”
“We report to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Nouri al-Maliki, to brief him on neighboring countries’ failure to honor sorry security agreements signed with Iraq, which aimed at denying access to inflitrators across the Iraqi borders,” he added.
When asked by Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI) about the situation in Sadr city, he highlighted “Baghdad security operations command have a great deal of intelligence information about the outlaws and their movement within Sadr City.”
The spokesman said “normalcy was restored in most areas of the neighborhood,” noting “two major roads have been opened while a third one is used for vehicles carrying foodstuff and medical items.”
Baghdad has seen heavy clashes and U.S. air strikes, especially in the violence-wracked Sadr city slum, following the announcement of a major crackdown dubbed as Saulat al-Fursan (Knights’ Assault) on gunmen in Basra last March.
The heavy fighting spread to major southern provinces and Baghdad. Although it subsided in many areas, but continues in the densely-populated Sadr city in eastern Baghdad.

Also - If your looking for more info on the “adhesive (IED)”, Bash did a great story back in February about them.
Terrorists’ Newest Weapon: “Sticky IED”
Kudos to Q_Mech for pointing out the Bash Article.

Good news, Thank You
PS - I would be quite interested in a Tech. description of “Adhesive” IED’s.
Are these the 2008 version of the “sticky bomb” of WWII, made famous (infamous) in the movie “saving Private Ryan”?
