Us to recruit More Iraqis to Help

Yet American officials say they still don't know who is behind the car bombings that have been striking Baghdad for more than two months, despite the efforts of 130,000 U.S. troops, 22,000 other coalition troops, more than 80,000 Iraqi security forces and dozens of FBI (news - web sites) agents.

No suspects in those bombings have been apprehended except for a man carrying a Syrian passport who was shot while trying to detonate a car bomb Monday in Baghdad, a senior defense official said Tuesday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he did not know of any useful information about the bombings gathered from any of the thousands of Iraqis being detained by the Americans.

So far, America's high-tech gadgets — its biggest advantage in many wars — have had only mixed success in Iraq.

1. Who's behind it?
I bet as well that the Germans had NO idea who was behind all the sabotage in occupied France.

Gee, maybe it was the French?????????
