Car Used in Attack on US Soldiers had Iraqi Police Plates
In the 1980's the CIA manual to the Contras in Nicaragua was released to the public. The manual talked of carrying out terrorist operations against one's own side and blaming them on the opposition. In Iraq, these demonic policies unfold in Iraq in the current civil war. Behind the frankensteins of fundamentalism and civil war is the Dr. Frankenstein of the CIA. There will be no peace in the global village if we keep trying to fight frankentsteins without putting Dr. Frankenstein in DC behind bars. Bush and Bin Laden are two sibling dogs of the same pack fighting over the same dead meat--humanity--WPA

A license plate from a car registered to Iraq's minister of trade was found on an SUV used by the gunmen who killed five American soldiers in the city of Karbala on Saturday, an Iraqi police official said Monday.
Maj. Gen. Qais al Maamuri, a police commander in Hilla, said the plate had been stolen from a BMW that belongs to Abdul Falah al-Sudani, a member of the Shiite Muslim Dawa Party. He said Sudani wasn't a suspect in the attack.
The link, however, deepened the mystery surrounding the Saturday attack as the second double-car bombing in Baghdad in seven days provided additional evidence that it will be difficult to quell the violence, even with the additional U.S. troops President Bush is sending to Iraq. ...
U.S. officials confirmed Monday that five Americans were killed in Saturday's attack, but they revealed no information about how the gunmen obtained a top Iraqi official's license plate, U.S. and Iraqi army uniforms and identification cards and vehicles like the ones used to carry U.S. officials.
Most Iraqi officials live in the American-protected Green Zone, where entry is strictly controlled. If the license plate were stolen from Sudani's car inside the Green Zone, that would suggest an inside job.
American soldiers frequently complain that sympathetic Iraqi police and soldiers tip off targets of raids in advance, but Iraqi officials marveled at the brazenness of Saturday's attack in Karbala, a city controlled by Shiites. ...
The attack was so well executed that Karbala provincial officials at first accused the Americans of raiding the headquarters.
