EXCLUSIVE: Iranian Weapons Arm Iraqi Militia
Hezbollah Training Also Linked to Iraq Violence
By JONATHAN KARL AND MARTIN CLANCY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2006 — U.S. officials say they have
found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists
in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories.
According to a senior defense official, coalition forces
have recently seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that
bear manufacturing dates in 2006.
This suggests, say the sources, that the material is going
directly from Iranian factories to Shia militias, rather
than taking a roundabout path through the black market.
"There is no way this could be done without (Iranian)
government approval," says a senior official.
