US military investigating claim of Iraq-Kuwait border blast
[EN.ANNAHAR] The U.S. military said Tuesday it was investigating a claim by a newly formed Iraqi Shiite turban group of a bombing at the Iraq-Kuwait border. Iraq and Kuwait denied an attack had taken place.

Iraq later said a kaboom targeted a U.S.-led coalition convoy on Tuesday in the Taji area, north of Baghdad, causing only minor damage. No one grabbed credit for that attack.

The little-known Ashab al-Kahf group
...another Iraqi Shiite Iranian cats paw, or possible even a sock puppet...
claimed in an overnight statement it destroyed "equipment and vehicles belonging to the American enemy" in a bombing targeting a border crossing south of the Iraqi city of Basra.

The group later published an 11-second video it claimed showed the blast, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors turban groups. The out-of-focus video shows what appeared to be a kaboom and lights in the distance, with a man speaking in Arabic. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named could not immediately verify the video.
