U.S. Says Arms Link Iranians to Iraqi Shiites
[New York Times] James Glanz - Senior U.S. military officials on Sunday displayed evidence of how Iran supplies Shiite extremist groups in Iraq with lethal weapons used to kill Americans. The weapons included explosively formed penetrators - canisters designed to explode and spit out molten balls of copper that cut through armor. An E.F.P. and an array of mortar shells and rocket-propelled grenades were shown with visible serial numbers that the officials said link the weapons directly to Iranian arms factories.
