Iran's Ramazan Corps and the Ratlines into Iraq

The issue of Iranian complicity in the Iraqi insurgency has been the focus of much discussion since U.S. and Iraqi forces began heavily targeting the Iranian networks in late 2006.

Also, I've provided a Flash presentation detailing the Ramazan Corps' ratlines into Iraq.
