Iran has launched an "unofficial civil war" in neighboring Iraq, British military officials believe. In recent days, British Special Forces troops and intelligence specialists have been tasked with tracking the activities of as many as forty Iranian agents operating in southern Iraq. In all, some 500 intelligence operatives from Iran are suspected to have entered Iraq over the past couple of weeks, using the cover of the annual Shi'ite religious pilgrimage to the shrine of the Imam Hussein in Karbala. The infiltration, officials in London believe, is part of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's plan to position covert assets and "carve up" the former Ba'athist state once Coalition forces withdraw.
