NCRI - A Spokesman for the US forces in Iraq said that the "special groups" supported by Tehran's regime are behind the Tuesday's deadly blast in Baghdad which left some 60 dead, according to the German press agency, dpa.

Many victims were trapped in their apartments by a raging fire that engulfed at least one building, according to police and Interior Ministry officials, who also said about 75 people, were wounded. Stunned survivors stumbled through the rubble-strewn street, which was filled with the smoke from burning vehicles, witnesses said.

Special Groups is a designation given by the US military to the cell-based violent organizations operating within Iraq, backed by Iran regime.

They are a target of increasing focus as the Multinational Force Iraq's military operations in Iraq. These groups are funded, trained, and armed by the Iranian Qods Force.
