Al-Siasa (Politics) revealed, “The weapons, to be used by Iranian agents and terrorists in Iraq, are being transported by mercenaries via Syria”.
“Ships full of surface-to-surface missiles were bought from an eastern European state and were being transported to Syria”, the daily adds in its Wednesday issue.
In a separate development earlier this week, the National Guards commander in the southern Iraqi city of Al-Diwaniya accused Iran of carrying out attacks and funding insurgents throughout the country.
“Those who carry out terrorist operations in Iraq either come from Iran or are funded by Iran to carry out their operations”, Major-General Othman Al-Qanemi said in an interview with the Al-Yawm Al-Akhar weekly.
“We have arrested a number of the Iranian regime’s mercenaries and have handed them over to the Interior Ministry so that they would be prosecuted,” Al-Qanemi said.
The National Guards commander added, “All those arrested, particularly in this province, either came from Iran or have been influenced and funded by Iran to carry out their operations”.
