U.S. asserts Iran training Iraqi extremists on how to assemble weapons, Iranian intelligence agents providing support to some Sunni groups

BAGHDAD (CNN) -- A U.S. military spokesman said Wednesday that Iran is training Iraqi extremists on how to assemble weapons, and that the intelligence agents from the Shiite nation are providing "some support" to some Sunni groups.

Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, speaking to reporters in a news conference, also said that two militants recently detained in an operation said they recently received training in Syria.

These latest developments reflect the Bush administration's concern over the involvement of Iran and Syria in the Iraqi war. The U.S. military has long stated that weapons and parts for them found and being used in Iraq have their roots in Iran.

The U.S. military has charged that armor-piercing roadside bombs called explosively-formed penetrators, or EFPs, have been supplied to Iraqi extremists by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Quds force. Caldwell said extremists are getting training on how to "assemble and employ EFPs."

"We know that they are being in fact manufactured and smuggled into this country, and we know that training does go on in Iran for people to learn how to assemble them and how to employ them. We know that training has gone on as recently as this past month from detainees debriefs," said Caldwell.

He said the training inside Iran has been for Shiite extremists, and Caldwell emphasized the use of such weapons requires "very skilled training."

"There has been training on specialized weapons that are used here in Iraq. And then we do know they receive also training on other just general tactics in terms of how to take and employ and work what we call a more complex kind of attack where we see multiple types of engagements being used from an explosion to small arms fire to being done in multiple places," Caldwell said.

Munitions from Iran were found in a black Mercedes sedan in Baghdad's Jihad neighborhood on Tuesday after a tip from a citizen. An Iranian-made rocket was found in the back seat of the car, Caldwell said.

More Iranian-made weapons were found in the trunk and in and around a house and backyard nearby.

Images of the weapons found were shown to reporters.

Caldwell didn't say what kind of support Sunni extremists might be receiving from Iranian intelligence agents, but this is a significant development because Shiites and Sunnis are locked in sectarian battle throughout Iraq.

Caldwell also didn't elaborate on what he said was the assertion by two people detained in an operation that they were trained in Syria. (Posted 9:29 a.m.)

It says right in the article that the sectarian violence is between Sunnis and Shiites. At the same time it asserts that SHIITES in Iran are HELPING the SUNNIS in Iraq. That would be like conservatives in Ohio who love George Bush helping PA democrats petition his impeachment.
