MUNICH, Germany -- U.S. military commanders in Iraq have shown members of Congress explosive devices that bear Iranian markings as evidence Tehran is supplying Iraqi militants with bombs, a senior U.S. government official said Saturday.
One of the lawmakers, independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, said he has seen some of the evidence, though he would not be specific. "I'm convinced from what I've seen that the Iranians are supplying and are giving assistance to the people in Iraq who are killing American soldiers," said Lieberman, who was attending an international security conference in Munich.
The senior official said military commanders in December showed lawmakers mortar rounds and other munitions and fragments that had Iranian serial numbers and markings.
The official, who requested anonymity because the evidence collected has not been made public, said U.S. generals also displayed improvised explosive devices that they said reflected Iranian style.

With ironclad evidence, the only thing we can throw at Iran is more token bitching. No wonder they have no respect for us.
Time to evaporate the mullahs.
I just hope the report doen't contain an artist's rendering of said weapons.
Well, well. Wonder what Iran has to say about this? Someone took them? When? From where?
Hopefully, we tortured the hell out of the Iranian agents we arrested last month.
Yeah, they'll blame it on the Mujahadeen Khalq.
It would be nice if there was a little bit of rendition there. How long would these shia mutants have held out against the conversation skills of the Kurdish Peshmerga?
They'd mail the remains back to Iran in envelopes.
Why are the Democrats so afraid of running Leiberman? Oh wait, they kicked him out of the party
I'll bet if any Democrats were shown these weapons, it made them want to get out of Iraq even faster.
You know the Russians would.
Yep, they would.
My former son-in-law is heading over there soon on a carrier. He was on the Enterprise heading home when they turned around on 9-11. He is living history and going to be part of it again, this time with Tehran. We have to hit these bastards and hit them hard. When we do, maybe we can bring end the conflict in Iraq.
