| BASRA ''RISING'' WAS TEHRAN''S...
From NY Post: Iran''s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) tried to seize control of Iraq''s second-largest city using local Shiite militias as a Trojan horse.
The hoped-for victory was to be achieved as part of a massive Shiite uprising spreading from Baghdad to the south via heartland cities such as Karbala, Kut and al-Amarah. A barrage of rockets and missiles against the "Green Zone" in Baghdad and armed attacks on a dozen police stations and Iraqi army barracks in the Shiite heartland were designed to keep the Maliki government under pressure. |
