WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. military has determined that Iran and Syria continue to help insurgents in Iraq.

Officials said Sunni insurgents have been training in Syria for operations in Iraq. They said Sunni insurgents recruited throughout the Middle East and Europe were entering Iraq from Syria.

Gen. George Casey, the commander of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, said Syria continues to harbor the leadership of the former Saddam Hussein regime. Casey said Syria also remains the primary route for foreign fighters coming into Iraq.

In an interview with the American Armed Forces Press Service, Casey said Iran has also been helping Shi'ite insurgents in Iraq. He said the Iranian aid has been used by Shi'ite militias to kill Sunni civilians.
