In an interview with Al-Arabiya TV , a detained Al-Qaeda member said:
“The operation in Mosul was organized by Iran. They prepared the vehicles and then they were sent for us. The Iraqi and American forces can not discover all the vehicles and devices which enter Iraq. Many operations were done by these vehicles. When I was in prison I heard that an American airplane was exploded in the American base in Qatar, they work with remote control from a distance of 35 kilometers.

I was in Mosul. Hassan Firouze has planned all the operations in Mosul and has sent them to the Iranian Army Chief of Staff. All the VBIEDs are prepared in Iran and sent to us.

How do you think that the explosive belts got into the parliament? No international force could discover this. The person who cut the electricity at the time was one of our colleagues; he cut the electricity to stop the security devices and the detectors to pass the explosive belts. I have the relevant documents. I have seen the film of the operation before it was implemented and I have all the information.

The money comes from Iran and we have absolutely no financial problem. We receive the Iraqi currency from Iran every day. Each truck that is used for suicide attacks costs 50,000 dollars and we are being provided for the expenses. “
