NEW YORK, March 20 (Reuters) - Iran has been operating training programs
for Iraqi Shi'ite militants at secret bases for several months as part of its
efforts to destabilize Iraq, an opponent of the Iranian government said on
Tuesday.

Alireza Jafarzadeh, who accurately disclosed important details about Iran's
nuclear program in 2002, said the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have been
running the camps with the full knowledge and approval of the Iranian
government.

"Over the past few months the Iranian regime has stepped up its efforts to
destabilize Iraq and further escalate the violence there," Jafarzadeh said
at a press conference.

Jafarzadeh provided names, dates and details of alleged training activities
he said had been provided to him by Iranian opposition groups.
