Iranians killed by U.S. troops in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Aug. 16 (UPI) --
Three gunmen killed by U.S. troops in Iraq this week were members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps, a U.S. military statement said in Baghdad.
The U.S. Army statement said that in several anti-insurgency attacks this week, a total of nine gunmen were killed. However, in one raid in northeastern Baghdad targeting a leader of the Iranian Guards' foreign fighters known as Al-Quds, three of his aides were killed by U.S. forces, Kuwait's KUNA news agency reported.
The unidentified leader was arrested on suspicion of supplying arms to Iraqi insurgents, the statement said.
Iran has repeatedly denied coalition allegations it provided training and weapons to Iraqi rebels. Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Defense said it was planning to designate the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist operation, which would disrupt the group's considerable foreign business transactions.
In another security operation, the military statement said six terrorists were killed in northern Baghdad. The raid also netted machine gun rounds and components used to make explosive devices, the report said.

Agents of American fascism and imperialism kill agents of Iranian fascism and imperialism. Or vice versa. Like I said, this kind of conflict (U.S. - Iranian) is a win-win situation for the rest of the world. Keep the good news coming, CU4.

Good articles. Thanks, plane.
Looks to me like these guys have the wherewithal to engage the U.S. Army in a land war in Iraq or even Afghanistan if the U.S. sees fit to bomb Iran. Somehow I see that as a real disaster for the U.S.A., compared to which the current Iraqi quagmire will look like a walk in the park.
Wonder what'd be in it for China to lend these guys a little helping hand in terms of weaponry and equipment? Maybe a toehold in the region?
