Document Leaked: Iran Paid Iraq's Mahdi Army To Kill British Troops In Basra




It really would take me a MONTH of Sundays to list all of the reasons why the world would be justified in wiping the Iranian nation off the face of the Earth and now we have Reason #374 where documents have been leaked that show how Iranian funding was used by the Iraqi Mahdi Army to recruit and train fighters to kill British troops in Basra. Here's the details from the report at the Telegraph:



Iran has secretly paid Iraqi insurgents hundreds of thousands of American dollars to kill British soldiers, according to a leaked government document obtained by The Telegraph.
The allegations are contained in a confidential "field report" written by a British officer who served in Basra during one of the most dangerous periods of the conflict. The report, which has never been made public, shows the full level of Iran's involvement in the insurgency for the first time.
The document states that the Jaish al-Mahdi (JAM) – also known as the Mahdi Army – one of the most violent insurgent groups operating in Basra, used money from Iran to recruit and pay young unemployed men up to $300 (£150) a month to carry out attacks against the British. The findings have been passed to the highest levels in the military.
Now, we could discuss how the Brits have been slapped around by the Iranians for three years now, or we could talk about how Iran will deny this report along with the hundreds of other ones that have them dead to rights, but I want to point out something else - that the Iranians are a race of people with no back bone. Yes, the Persians are simply gutless cowards.

Ever since the Islamic Revolution in Iran took place (thanks a bunch Jimmy Carter), the Persians have been intent on molding world opinion, world events and world behavior to suit their radical violent political ideology but unlike their predecessors, the Nazis or the Maoist or the Stalinists, the Iranians have hired others to do their dirty work. The Iranians hate Israel so they set up Hamas and Hezbollah to do their dirty work. The Iranians wanted to control Lebanon so they had Syria assassinate most of the upper echelon of Lebanon's governmental leadership. The list goes on and on.

The sissified Persians have only had one war in recent history in which they actually took up weapons themselves and fought an enemy - the war with Iraq - and they nearly got their asses handed to them. And in that war, the Persians were fighting their Shia brethren.

My point is this: it is high time the world puts an end to this yellow belly regime's use of hired guns around the world. It's way past due that the Persians are called on the carpet for their use of violence in the name of allah. And it is long overdue that this country, this cesspool of hate and perversion be wiped off the map. You can justify it by their development of nukes or now you can simply post a picture of a British soldier killed in Basra, but either way they deserve to breathe their last.



Iran 'paid Iraq insurgents to kill UK soldiers'

The leak comes at a time of rising tension between Iran and the international community, as Tehran continues to stonewall UN inquiries into allegations that it has carried out research to develop a nuclear weapon.
The report, "Life Under Fire in the Old State Building", details the activities of British troops under the command of Major Christopher Job, of the 2nd Lancashire Regiment, between November 2006 and March 2007.
In the report, Major Job discloses that in the course of five months his base was attacked 350 times. Old State Building, which is in the centre of Basra, is the most-attacked British base in recent history.
In an attempt to discover who was behind the attacks, the officer says he established a network of informers, who supplied him with detailed intelligence on the actions of the insurgents and who was behind their funding.
The officer states that the reports of Iran's involvement came from a network of 25 sources, which included a former Iraqi army general, prominent businessmen, local sheikhs and council leaders.
He writes: "We learnt from a number of our Key Leadership Engagements [local contacts] that the source of the problem was the level of unemployment in Basra.
"JAM, using funding from Iran, paid the unemployed youths in the region of $300 per month to attack Multi National Forces. We also learnt that JAM had a drugs culture and that youths literally got hooked on being associated with JAM."
Twenty-seven members of the Armed Forces died and dozens were seriously injured in southern Iraq between November 2006 and May 2007, the period that Major Job covers in his report.
A senior British officer who has recently returned from southern Iraq said that the existence of "Iranian finance teams" in Basra was widely known by the British military and Foreign Office, although always officially denied.
He said: "It suited Iran to arm JAM in order to allow them to have the means to hit us."
Patrick Mercer, the Tory MP and a former infantry commander said: "This report makes it quite clear that Iran is directly involved in funding the insurgency."
He added: "The Government must confront Tehran over the deaths of British troops – anything else is appeasement."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "There is evidence to suggest a malign influence in Iraq by Iran, including the supply of equipment and armaments which are used by insurgents against UK forces in Iraq.
