| (KUNA) -- Iranian border troops have arrested an Iraqi military officer and five soldiers after a gunfire clash in the border region of Diyala, a military source said on Friday. The clash occurred on Thursday after the Iranian troops opened fire at a joint patrol of Iraqi and American regulars, the source said, adding that the US soldiers did not get involved in the firefight. The arrestees are members of the Fifth Division of the Iraqi Army, deployed in Dilaya, 60 kilometers northeast of the capital. |

| #2 Smart. Real smart. Didn't this kind of thing happen not too long ago in a land not too far away? Which side of the border were they on? Was their location disputed? Kidnapped? What was the "reason" Iran felt the need to kidnap some Iraqis? Why did the Americans decide not to get involved? Seems that since Americans didn't get kidnapped or involved, the only purpose this little exercise served was to show Iran's true colors. Again. For those who needed any prior lessons repeated. So much for the "good neighbor" thingy. |
