The Iran connection
Is actually even weaker than L.W.M. says, which is already too weak to mean anything. Muktada al-Sadr and the Mahdi army are the nationalist part of the Shia, that makes them anti-Iranian influence too. The biggest pro-Iran Shia faction is the Maliki government/Badr brigade (al-Hakim who controls the Badr brigade is a member of the government). So maybe they know its Iranian weaponry because they found purple finger dye on it or a copy of Bush's State of the Union Address or something.
