| US Acted Through its Agent, Iran, to Cause Shia to Bomb Shia Festival |

| From Jihad Unspun It would be no surprise at all if the U.S. through her agent Iran (or even independently) pushed some of the many conflicting parties in Iraq who have an interest in inciting trouble from amongst the Sheeâah groups. It is known that there is a bitter struggle going on within the Sheeâah community between the secularists and religious wings about the extent to which the constitution in Iraq should be Islamic, and between various religious groupings themselves who have historic differences. A clear example of the division and hatred amongst the Sheeâah themselves was the cold-blooded fact that these attacks on the Sheeâah were most likely carried out by the Sheeâah groups themselves, with the implicit support of the U.S. The fact that U.S. forces were "standing down" throughout the festival, as has been reported, whilst Sheeâah leaders had asked repeatedly for increased security may be a further indication of U.S. covert complicity. At the same time, we saw over a quarter of a million Iranian Sheeâah enter Iraq for the festival, further evidence if needed to suggest an Iranian-Sheeâah link. Besides this, we see the subtle U.S. attempts to set its sights on a ânewâ public enemy No 1, (as a substitute) for Mullah Omar and Usama ibn Laden who have so far alluded their capture to that of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. They have increased the reward for his capture from $5 million to $10 million â they assert that he is an associate of Usama bin Laden whom they claim is trying to provoke a civil war in Iraq. This allegation is based on a copy of a letter said by Iraq. Contrary to the spin set out by the New York Times (a consistent mouthpiece of the U.S. regime), the letter did not talk about creating a sectarian war in Iraq as was claimed. It talked about fighting the Kuffar occupiers and their allies from amongst the Sheeâah and the Sunni. |

| #1 the New York Times (a consistent mouthpiece of the U.S. regime) This will come as good news to Karl Rove and speaks well to the credibility of the source./sarcasm> |
