Iranian Connection
U.S. reconnaissance spacecraft have spotted a training center in Iran that duplicates the governor's compound in Karbala, Iraq, that was attacked in January by a specialized unit that killed American and Iraqi soldiers. The U.S. believes the discovery indicates Iran was heavily involved in the attack, which relied on a fake motorcade to gain entrance to the compound. The duplicate layout in Iran allowed attakers to practice procedures to use at the Iraqi compound. |
