FOXNews.com - Top Stories - Iraqi Cops Arrest 5 in Basra Blasts BASRA, Iraq — Police arrested five Iraqis on Friday believed linked to Al Qaeda and suspected in this week's homicide bombings in Basra, and the men led police to a stash of 20 tons of explosives, a police intelligence chief said.
The arrests came two days after attackers set off car bombs outside police stations and a police academy in this Shiite-majority southern city, killing 74 people, including at least 16 children whose school buses were incinerated by the blast as they passed one of the stations.
Five car bombs were used in the attack, and police seized two more explosive-laden vehicles Wednesday before they could be detonated.
>>>The five confessed to working with a Syrian connected to Al Qaeda who travels between Iraq and neighboring Kuwait, he said. They said they had prepared a total eight car bombs for use in Wednesday's attacks.
Syrians once again interfering in Iraq, as are Iranians. What will happen to them, I wonder?
