Iranian agents arrested in Iraq
2003-09-06
Iraqi security officials have arrested 12 Iranian intelligence agents allegedly plotting bomb attacks in Baghdad, World Net Daily reported. The report quoted the director of security patrols in the Al-Sulihiyah district of Baghdad who arrested the Iranians at the offices of the Al Mashriq Money Exchange Company. The Iranians were carrying counterfeit dollars and hotel and bank cards.
Oh, bad boys!
While al-Qaida terrorists and pro-Saddam Iraqis are key suspects, U.S. intelligence authorities are considering the possibility Iranian intelligence was behind the Aug. 29 bombing of a mosque in Najaf that killed Ayatollah Mohammed Baqer al-Hakim, a leading moderate Shiite who headed the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. Iranians also are suspected in an attempted bombing in the Iraqi city of Najaf Aug. 24. One intelligence official said there is a growing presence of Iranians in Iraq.
"Ardeshir, here's some counterfeit dough and some phoney bank cards. Go to Iraq and blow some stuff up."
"Duh. Hokey, boss."
"And try not to get caught."
"Duh. Hokay, boss. C'n I have my virgins now? Huh? Huh?"
"Soon. It will be soon."

#3  We can use the Iranian Ayatollahs as scape-goats to unite Iraq.

#2  In re bombing the reactor... I like the "act of war dodge"... didn't we just deliver some fighter-bombers to the new Iraqui Air Force (wink, wink...nudge,nudge)?

#1  couldn't this be construed as an act of war? Might justify bombing....oh...say...a reactor?
