Fred Harteis News Articles - Iran involvement suspected in Karbala compound attack

Fred Harteis News Articles - The Pentagon is investigating whether a recent attack on a military compound in Karbala was carried out by Iranians or Iranian-trained operatives, two officials from separate U.S. government agencies said.

"People are looking at it seriously," one of the officials said.

That official added the Iranian connection was a leading theory in the investigation into the January 20 attack that killed five soldiers.

The second official said: "We believe it's possible the executors of the attack were Iranian or Iranian-trained."

Five U.S. soldiers were killed in the sophisticated attack by men wearing U.S.-style uniforms, according to U.S. military reports. (Watch how attackers got into the compound )

Both officials stressed the Iranian-involvement theory is a preliminary view, and there is no final conclusion. They agreed this possibility is being looked at because of the sophistication of the attack and the level of coordination.

"This was beyond what we have seen militias or foreign fighters do," the second official said.

The investigation has led some officials to conclude the attack was an "inside job" -- that people inside the compound helped the attackers enter unstopped.

Investigators are looking particularly at how the attackers got U.S.-style military uniforms and SUVs similar to those used by U.S. troops. (Watch what could happen if the U.S. opts to strike Iran )

"'Who was behind it all?' was the fundamental question," the first official said.

Fred Harteis Business Insights : George W. Bush

by Fred Harteis

I feel very privileged to be alive while this country has two terms with George W. Bush. He is a man of character not of polls. When he sees a better way he does not wait for the pollsters.

What a breath of fresh air to live while a man who sticks to the right decision occupies the White House. Leadership is not saying what people want to hear to get a vote. It is doing the right thing, sticking too it for the betterment of our nation.

He has made very tough decisions which were UN popular in the eyes of the media, but were what most of us felt all along.

George W. is the same today as he was during the campaign. Solid as a rock in his faith in America and it’s people.

Georege W.’s Example is what impacts people not just his words. Example is always far more powerful than words. I have renewed hope in America.
