A U.S. Army officer picks up a piece of evidence gathered by the U.S. Military which is claimed to show Iran's support to militant Iraqis fighting U.S. forces at a news conference in Baghdad February 14, 2007. The U.S. military in Iraq on Wednesday seemed to distance itself from comments made by a U.S. defence official at the weekend that implicated the "highest levels" of Tehran's government in arming Iraqi militants.

Ammar al-Hakim (C), son of Iraqi Shi'ite leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, greets supporters after speaking at a news conference in Najaf, 160 km (100 miles) south of Baghdad, February 24, 2007. Hundreds of Iraqis took to the streets of Shi'ite towns on Saturday to protest Friday's detention of Ammar. The U.S. military said Ammar was held on Friday because members of his convoy acted suspiciously at a border checkpoint while returning from Iran. He was released after several hours.
