U.S. General Says Iran Reduces Bomb Supply for Iraqi Insurgents
[VOA News] Al Pessin - Lt.-Gen. Thomas Metz says Iranian officials have apparently reduced the supply of material for high-powered roadside bombs that can penetrate armored vehicles. U.S. officials say the technology, materials and training needed to build such bombs comes from Iranian agents. Pentagon statistics indicate the number of roadside bombs in Iraq has fallen from 1,200 in April to 500 in October. But during the same period, the use of such bombs more than doubled in Afghanistan.
