Agance France Presse reported that US forces used a photograph to identify an Iranian they arrested in northern Iraq as a wanted bomb smuggler, a military spokesman said on Friday amid claims by Iran the detainee is a businessman.
“I can’t provide the specific evidence we have for security reasons, but I can say that coalition forces identified the individual on the scene from a photo, so we are confident we have the guy we were looking for,” Major Winfield Danielson told AFP.

“This individual has been involved in transporting improvised explosive devices into Iraq, and reports indicate he was also involved in the infiltration of foreign terrorists into Iraq, contrary to recent diplomatic initiatives,” Danielson said on Friday.
