Iran Increases Weapon Supply to Iraqi Insurgents
August 25, 2007 by pulkit
Major Gen Rick Lynch, a high ranking U.S military official in Iraq has said that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has about 20 of its elite members operating in Central Iraq. They are part of a drive to boost insurgent activity in Iraq.
He also gave account of numerous instances when Iranian made weapons were found in Iran. These weapons include rockets, armor piercing explosives (or ELFs) and mines. The U.S army has enough evidence to be conviced about the Iranian origins of these weapons.
These Iranian weapons are normally used by the Mahdi army, a Shi’ite rebel group. But some Sunni groups also have access to them.
Tool markings and other manufacturing evidence left no doubt that the components for the captured weapons were made in Iran, he said. [source]
