Baghdad - Bomb Kills 6 in Anbar Province

The U.S. military worried Sunday about receiving mixed messages from Iran, listing a dramatic drop in Iranian-made weapons reaching Iraq but no reduction in the training and financing of Shiite militants. This report further muddles U.S. - Iranian relations as Washington ratchets up its anti-Tehran rhetoric in the shadow of a recent intelligence report that the Islamic republic halted a nuclear weapons program four years ago. A second suicide bombing in two days killed 6 people in Anbar province, the birthplace of the Sunni movement against al-Qaida in Iraq that has been a major factor in a recent downturn in nationwide violence.The apparent target near Fallujah was a U.S. backed Sunni tribal sheik who escaped harm but the bombing reflected the difficult in routing insurgents led by al-Qaida in Iraq even in areas where the military has made major gains. I think Iran is dangerous and we better keep an eye on them closely.
