Military sources confidently report that Syria, longtime state sponsor of terrorism, is behind a good deal of terrorist and paramilitary activity in Iraq:

Syria is "facilitating" the movement of foreign fighters into Iraq and helping supply them with arms, according to U.S. military officials with access to intelligence reports. ...Officials said Syrian help includes facilitating their border crossing, arming them and allowing them to return for fresh supplies. Asked how conclusive U.S. intelligence is on Syrian aid, one official said, "No doubt about it."

This is very interesting when coupled with Wretchard's recent find of information on the high likelihood that Saddam Hussein squirreled WMD material away in Syria. It's also another reminder that Iraq is a major front in the war on terror — and that Iraqis do not deserve very much blame at all for the continuing difficulties. (First link via IP.)
