Iranian officer seized in Iraq Coalition forces arrested an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – Quds Force officer in Sulimaniyah today. Contrary to recent diplomatic initiatives, this individual has been involved in transporting improvised explosive devices and explosively formed penetrators into Iraq. Intelligence reports also indicate he was involved in the infiltration and training of foreign terrorists in Iraq. The Quds Force is a covert action arm of the Iranian government responsible for aiding lethal attacks against the Iraqi government and Coalition forces. This is interesting. He was in Kurdistan, which we know has been the subject of several recent attacks from Iran. My guess: he was setting up a network to bring bombings to that region. BBC US-led forces in Iraq say they have arrested an Iranian officer operating in the north of the country. They say the man was a member of the Quds Force - an elite unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards - and was detained in the Kurdish city of Sulaimaniya. “This individual has been involved in transporting improvised explosive devices,” the American military said. The US has accused the Quds Force of helping arm Shia militias in Iraq. Iran denies any involvement with militants. A statement by the US military said the arrested man had been involved in the “infiltration and training of foreign terrorists in Iraq”. According to a spokesman for the regional government in semi-autonomous Kurdistan, he was taken away overnight in a raid on a Sulaimaniya hotel. A government official in Baghdad said the arrested man had been part of a commercial delegation, but gave no further details.
