Elements in the Iranian state are sending weapons across the border to the Taleban in Afghanistan, a BBC investigation has uncovered.
(BBC)
When John McCain suggested that Iran was training Sunni insurgents and sending them back into Iraq, the media portrayed the incident as a confusion between the major sects of Islam, even though media reports backing the allegation.
Apparently the British Broadcasting Corporation is also confused!
The question is - are Iranian weapons only being brought across the border by smugglers for profit or are elements of the Iranian state also donating arms?
The Taleban commander and other sources in the south told me both routes were operating.
The British ambassador in Kabul, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, made the same allegation.
