BLAME IRAN ... Er, Ireland?
Bombs found in Iraq that the U.K. said came from Iran actually from Ireland?
Believe it.
British intelligence services reported that bombs using an infrared trigger were proof that Iran's Revolutionary Guard had become involved - via Hizbollah - in aiding Iraq's Shia militias in the manufacture of IED's.
But as it turns out, the bombs being used come from Ireland's Republican Army, also known as the IRA - a now defunct terrorist group.
Perhaps most interesting, the technology for these bombs comes from the British security services, which passed on the gear to the IRA in a botched sting over a decade ago.
Blame Iran?
Not so fast ...
