Most foreign insurgents in Iraq are *Saudis*.

Most foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq come from Saudi Arabia, despite attempts by US officials to portray Syria and Iran as the main culprits of violence, the L.A. Times reported Sunday.

Citing an unnamed senior US military officer and Iraqi lawmakers, the Los Angeles Times newspaper said:

1) about 45 percent of all foreign militants targeting US troops and Iraqi security forces were from Saudi Arabia,

2) 15 percent from Syria and Lebanon,

3) and 10 percent from North Africa.
