US: Iran is training Iraqi militants to make bombs

Iran has been training Iraqi fighters to make deadly roadside bombs known as EFPs, the US military spokesman said in Baghdad today.

"We know they are being manufactured and smuggled into this country, and we know that training does go on in Iran for people to learn how to assemble them and how to employ them," Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, the US military spokesman, said at a weekly briefing.
