BAGHDAD [MENL] -- The U.S. military has determined that Iranian-backed
Shi'ite insurgents were returning to Iraq.
Officials said Shi'ite insurgents, including commanders, were returning
from Iran and Syria to southern Iraq. They said their return has sparked
alarm among Iraqi residents.
"Things are stable, but there are still some bad people out there, and
we continue to work to kill or capture them every single day," U.S. Army
Col. Richard Francey said.
