Briefly noted

An official press release on the Multinational Forces Iraq website is headlined

[Regimental Combat Team]-5 Marines Discover 12 Caches, Iranian Ordnance in Al Anbar Province

The text of the story lists various seized weapons, but the only attribution is of some grenades to the USSR. It's an oddly haphazard approach to the recurring talking point about Iranian interference in Iraq, perhaps reflective of the curious implication that Iran would be supplying Sunni insurgents.
