US military officials are putting huge pressure on interrogators who question Iraqi insurgents to find incriminating
evidence pointing to Iran, it was claimed last night.
Micah Brose, a privately contracted interrogator working for American forces in Iraq, near the Iranian border, told The
Observer that information on Iran is 'gold'. The claim comes after Washington imposed sanctions on Iran last month,
citing both its nuclear ambitions and its Revolutionary Guards' alleged support of Shia insurgents in Iraq. Last week
the US military freed nine Iranians held in Iraq, including two it had accused of links to the Revolutionary Guards'
Qods Force.
Brose, 30, who extracts information from detainees in Iraq, said: 'They push a lot for us to establish a link with Iran.
They have pre-categories for us to go through, and by the sheer volume of categories there's clearly a lot more for Iran
than there is for other stuff. Of all the recent requests I've had, I'd say 60 to 70 per cent are about Iran.
