Iranian Revolutionary Guard elite Quds Force in Iraq. Fourth Rail has a quick Iraq roundup that includes this news:
BAGHDAD - About 50 members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards are believed to be training Shia militias in the use of mortars and rockets in southern Iraq, the general commanding US troops in the area said on Sunday
“We are concerned primarily about the training of Shia extremists. We think there are about 50 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards,” Major-General Rick Lynch, commander of US forces south of Baghdad, told reporters.
Lynch said there had been an increase in “indirect fire attacks” on US forces in his area of command and that rocket attacks were becoming “more accurate and more effective.
I like the kicker:
Crocker also warned Teheran that its Quds operatives would not be safe in Iraq.
