Iraqi Leader Warns Iran of Terror Threat
Iran agreed Sunday to join the U.S. and other countries at a conference on Iraq this week, raising hopes the government in Tehran would help stabilize its violent neighbor and stem the flow of guns and bombs over the border.
In an apparent effort to drive home that point, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told an Iranian envoy that the persistent violence in Iraq some of it carried out by the Shiite militias Iran is accused of arming could spill over into neighboring countries, including those that are “supposed to support the Iraqi government.”
Al-Maliki’s national security adviser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie, said Sunday that the U.S. has not provided Iraq with any “solid evidence” that Iran is arming fighters in Iraq.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military said Monday that four U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were killed in separate attacks in the capital, including three in a single roadside bombing, making April the deadliest month so far this year.
