Iran Weapons Found At Iraq's Port City
Weapons from Iran discovered in Iraq’s port city
An array of weapons made in Iran were discovered in Iraq’s southern port city of Um Qasr, the Iraqi television channel al-Zora reported on Monday. In the weapons cache were hundreds of Katyusha rockets and mortar shells as well as several thousand light arms, the report said, adding that the weapons had all been manufactured in neighbouring Iran.
The weapons were discovered in the city’s al-Hora district, it said.
Um Qasr, the country’s largest deepwater port city, is close to the city of Basra which Iraqi officials say has become a hub for agents of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

So what is the deal are we supposed to imagine that the weapons were not allowed to continue through or what. Talk about half assed reporting.

Really. What became of said munitions and ordinance? This reporter will probably end up working for CNN someday.

Maybe this is some of the work by James Philip Rubin of Sky News or his wife Christiane Amanpour of CNN, it has the handiwork of their distorted view of events. Rubin served as chief foreign policy spokesman for General Wesley Clark's presidential campaign and worked for Democratic nominee John Kerry, serving as a senior advisor for national security affairs. Neither of them live in the U.S., maybe the anonymous report was to tell the Iraqi terrorists where to get their supplies???, or maybe it's just another jab at the Bush administration.
