Captured commander says Iran, Syria provided funds, equipment
BAGHDAD — A Sunni insurgency commander said his group obtained money and equipment from Iran and Syria. The Iraqi Defense Ministry videotaped the commander of Mohammed's Army as saying that his group obtained cash and vehicles from Iran and Syria for car bombings and other attacks against the U.S.-led coalition and Iraq's military and security forces. The commander, identified as Muayad Yassin Aziz Al Nasiri, was captured late last year in Iraq after a tip from a Syrian undercover agent who defected and helped the Iraqi Defense Ministry.
