US General David Petraeus, head of the coalition forces in Iraq, accused Iran's secretive Quds Force Thursday of helping an armed network that killed five US soldiers in January in the Shiite shrine city of Kerbala. Petraeus acknowledged in Washington that a complex and "very tough" situation existed in Iraq, but also accused Iran's Quds Force of helping an Iraqi network to murder five US soldiers in Kerbala.

On January 20, gunmen disguised in US military-style uniforms breezed past checks and attacked a provincial security building during a visit by American troops to their Iraqi counterparts. One US soldier died in the assault and four were captured. Their bodies were later found by Iraqi police.

The assault came nine days after US forces seized five Iranians from the northern city of Irbil. They are still being detained.

In March, the military announced the arrest of two brothers, Qais and Laith Khazali, in connection with the murders of five soldiers. Petraeus now says the Khazalis were supported by Iran's Quds Force.

"There is no question that the Al-Khazali network was connected to the Iranian Quds Force - received money, training, arms, ammunition, and at some points in time even advice and assistance," he told reporters.
