Iran accused of arming Afghan militants with lethal bombs
Admiral Fallon said Iran’s Revolutionary Guard supplies roadside bomb parts used in explosively formed penetrators. NATO reports three weapon shipments from Iran intercepted since April, with the Sept. 6 Farah find possibly aided by Iran. Heavy fighting in the south killed about 75 Taliban and a civilian, while a Kabul car bombing killed a French soldier and an Afghan bystander. France’s Sarkozy condemned the attack as cowardly.

Federal prosecutors in Raleigh with Pentagon and State Department auditors are examining whether Blackwater USA employees illegally smuggled weapons into Iraq and sold them on the black market to a U.S.-designated terrorist group. The probe, active since late, follows the Baghdad convoy shooting and may lead to indictments or device-focused charges.
