Al-Qaida plan to start US-Iran war

A BLUEPRINT for trying to start a war between the United States and Iran was among a “huge treasure” of documents found in the hideout of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi officials said yesterday.

The news came the same day as 10 labourers were taken off a bus in Baqouba by gunmen and shot dead.

Meanwhile, the number of US military dead in Iraq has now reached 2,500, the Pentagon said.
