Coming War With Iran? Kidnappers of British contractors in Iraq were backed by Iran: US General The kidnappers who snatched five British contractors last month were funded, trained and armed by Iran, the US commander in Iraq said in an interview published late Wednesday. In comments published in an early edition of The Times's Thursday paper, General David Petraeus also said that attempts had been made to rescue the management consultant and his four bodyguards, and there was a "very intensive effort ongoing" to find them. The five were kidnapped during a visit to an Iraqi finance ministry office in east Baghdad on May 29. Petraeus identified the group as a secret cell of the Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia in Iraq loyal to the radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. "We think that it is the same network that killed our soldiers in Karbala in an operation back in January ... It is a secret cell of Jaish al-Mahdi (Mahdi Army), not all of which are under control of Moqtada al-Sadr." "They are not rank-and-file Jaish al-Mahdi. They are trained in Iran, equipped with Iranian (weapons), and advised by Iran. The Iranian involvement here we have found to be much, much more significant than we thought before.
