> Report:  Iran has spies, fighters in Iraq
> From  correspondents in Washington
> November  15, 2004
> 
> IRAN has spies, weapons and attackers in Iraq,  and may have a US$500 ($650)
> bounty on the head of each US soldier there,  according to a report based on
> intelligence documents published by a US  news magazine.
> 
> "Iran ... poses the greatest long-term  threat to US efforts in Iraq," wrote
> an analyst with the Air Force Office  of Special Investigations in December,
> 2003, according to a report  published in the Monday edition of US  News and
> World Report.  "Iranian  intelligence agents are conducting operations in
> every major city with a  significant Shia (Muslim) population," a US Army's V
> Corps analyst wrote  in a 2003 document examined by the news weekly.   "The
> counterintelligence threat from Iran is assessed to be high, as locally
> employed people, former military officers, politicians, and young men are
> recruited, hired, and trained by Iranian intelligence to collect
> (intelligence) on coalition forces," the V Corps analyst wrote.   The
> magazine said "raw" intelligence indicated that Iran may have a bounty on
> each US soldier, and the repeated interception of such information, from
> various sources, led analysts to believe it may be true.   US  News  also
> reported that Iran appeared to be behind a plan to kill Paul Bremer,  then the
> top US administrator in Iraq, as a grim two-year anniversary of  the September
> 11, 2001 attacks.  The  plan was well developed, according to intelligence
> documents, and detailed  down to the make of taxi, a Toyota Corona, to be used
> in a bombing and the  name of a planner, Himin Bani Shari, a top member of
> Ansar Al-Islam and  known to associate with Iranian spies, the magazine said.
> An  assessment by the US Army's V Corps, which then directed all Army activity
> in Iraq, said: "Iranian intelligence continues to prod and facilitate the
> infiltration of Iraq with their subversive elements while providing them
> support once they are in country," according to the magazine.
