I saw this on CNN today. They went on and on about how the military suspected Iranian involvement.
And then they said this:
"THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IRANIAN INVOLVEMENT IN THIS ATTACK."
It's nothing more than a hunch.
There isn't evidence other than the military suspects the Revolutionary Guard may have orchestrated or even carried it out in retaliation for the raid on one of their diplomatic missions and the arrest of 5 Iranian diplomats, some of them members of the Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian intelligence service.
The Iraqis have said that at least one of the raiders of Karbala spoke perfect English in what was described as an "American accent" and had blonde hair.
It is known that there are some American Muslim converts that are in Iraq to fight with the insurgency, like that kid we captured in Afghanistan a few years back. I wouldn't be all that surprised if some of the raiders were American. Nor would I be surprised if the Revolutionary Guard had a hand in it. It was clearly executed by a well trained and organized force.
