2006-04-04
Five out of how many?
Baghdad, Apr. 03 – Five Iranian agents attempting to cross into Iraq illegally have been arrested, according to a television report.

Iraqi border security forces arrested the group in the town of Halabja close to the Iranian border, the television station al-Sharqiya reported on Sunday. The United States and Iraqi officials have accused IranÂ’s radical Islamic government of sending agents and arms into Iraq to assist the insurgency.

#10  "...IranÂ’s radical Islamic government of sending agents and arms into Iraq to assist the insurgency."

Using the catch-all phrase of "insurgency" to describe any and all groups that are resistant of an Iraqi representative government or want to drive out the occupying coalition forces confuses the understanding of the conflict. Such broad defintions make it difficult, if not impossible, to determine a precise composition. Which makes reports like this equally difficult to determine capabilities, funding, and goals. It seems to me, for purposes of discussion, there needs to be a distinction made between insurgents and common crimminals or opportunists. Furthermore, it would be helpful to avoid lumping in the militant Shia militias as part of the insurgency. ItÂ’s hard enough trying to figure out the alliances and degree of cooperation between Saddam loyalists, BaÂ’athists, and Iraqi nationalists with the foreign Jihadists.
