| 2005-02-11 |
| Iraqi Interior Minister Falah al-Naqib said in Baghdad last week that security forces recently arrested four terrorists who tried to attack a polling place during the Jan. 30 elections. "As far as I know, one of those who blew himself up was from Chechnya; another one was from Sudan; and a third person, who was killed, was a Syrian," he said. Another Syrian was arrested. A total of 15 terrorists were arrested during the elections and two cars filled with explosives were seized. During one raid last week, Iraqi National Guard troops seized 16 trucks filled with weapons, explosives and cash. According to Iraqi authorities, the people involved in the arms smuggling admitted to having ties to Iranian intelligence in areas that include Samara, Balad, Najaf and Latifiyah. The captured smugglers provided details of the activities of the Al Fajer, a branch of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, which is working to recruit Iraqis for terrorist operations. |

| #8 Iran wants to do mischief, we can do it too. The MMs need to be destabilized, spooks, dirty tricks, hacking, the whole nine yards. I hope we are doing something. There are groups that hate the MMs. They need to be supplied and encouraged. If the MMs stay around too long, they can undo all the work and sacrifices our forces AND those dedicated Iraqis have done. |

| #6 fire rockets from Iraq into Iran and say it's the work of the Iraqis. If Iran attacks, go get 'em. If they don't, keep firing the rockets! heck, hamas seems to like the rocket thing. |

| #5 we're gonna have to rip the guts out of the Middle East and have them start all over. Suicide bombings EVERY DAY for the last couple years is just too much to accept. |

| #4 DPA: Give the mullahs a little more rope to hang themselves with. I suspect that, as Iraq becomes more secure, the Iranian people will hang the mullahs off the same crane used for hanging "women accused of morals violations." |

| #2 Sounds to me like a sweep of the areas mentioned would be in order. Find these Iranian agents, then execute them, no questions asked. |
