Iran implicated in British deaths..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4312516.stm

Britain has accused Iran of responsibility for explosions which have killed eight British soldiers and injured two others in Iraq this year.

A senior British official, briefing correspondents in London, blamed Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

He said they provided the technology to a Shia group in southern Iraq.

1. The pro-Iranian groups
active in Iraq are SCIRI and da'waa both of which are in the provisional government. The Badr Brigade is an armed Iranian backed group that appears to be fighting on the same side, to say the very least, as the coalition.

I smell disinformation in the form of unsubstantiated allegations against next year's 'hitler state'.

2. In all fairness
the Brits seem to mean the Iraqi Hizbollah. But whatever - the Iranians are paying everyone off anyway, just to make sure whoever comes out on top owes them.

3. Have to wait and see exactly who they mean
but I've not heard of Hezbollah's involvement in Iraq. I'm not sure Hezbollah exists outside of Lebanon - any idea?

It is most likely propaganda on the basis that they seem incapable of telling the truth on anything concerning Iraq.
