US to blame Iran for attacks in Iraq despite decline in use of bombs linked to Iran
Raw Story
A Pentagon report to be released Tuesday will accuse Iran of continuing to funnel weapons and technology to fighters in neighboring Iraq even as it cites lower violence overall, US media said.
Fewer fatalities among US and Iraqi troops and wider installation of basic services such as electricity are to be among the positives cited by the US military assessment of Iraq, the Wall Street Journal said citing officials familiar with the report to be given to Congress.
But even with the positives, the report lays attacks in Iraq at the foot of Iranian elements — despite the fact that the use of explosively formed penetrators weapons (EFPs) are down. Some EFPs found in Iraq over the past year have carried Iranian signatures, according to media reports and intelligence officials who spoke to RAW STORY in recent months.
