Then came the Baluchi group Jundallah in 2006 - claimed to operate out of Pakistani Baluchestan, and possibly Afghanistan's Nimruz province (which has a large Baluchi population). Both groups, separated by thousands of miles, remarkably, were floated within less than a year of eachother. Both groups, remarkably (or is that coincidently?) toe the same lines as eachother (not separatism, but "federalism") and both groups are well armed and equipped to fight (advanced weapons and explosives know-how dont just drop from the sky).

Its no coincidence that these two anti-Iran proxy groups sprung up at relatively the same time and are based in close proximity to where US forces are staged.

Ah yes, "America is the Great Satan" chant.............

Kurdish guerrillas have launched a clandestine war in northwestern Iran, ambushing troops as they seek Western backing to secure an ethnic homeland.

In retaliation, the Iranian army has carried out a series of counterattacks in the mountains, which span the border with Iraq.

Murat Karayilan, a Kurdish guerrilla commander, told the Daily Telegraph that Tehran had originally tried to recruit the outlawed groups to fight coalition troops in Iraq.

Iran negotiating with "terrorists" to attack the coalition?
