Syria linked to Zarqawi offensive

Intelligence analysts say Syria is directing Iraqi terrorist attacks against Shiite targets, U.S. convoys, the Iraqi military and police.

A source in Amman said there is undisputed proof of frequent communications between Iraq’s main terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the Syrian Mukhabarat intelligence unit.

The intercepted communication included wireless phone and short-range radios. Drivers crossing the border en route from Damascus to Baghdad also carry verbal coded messages, the sources say.

The Syrian intelligence Iraq desk is in touch with the Islamic Jihad and uses the organization’s ties with other jihadi groups to recruit Arab-Muslim volunteers for the so-called "jihad in Iraq." Another intelligence source said same of the foreign terrorists killed lately in Iraq are Palestinians. The source also said foreign volunteers were using forged documents giving them North African identities.
