Report: U.S. to present 'Iran Dossier' tomorrow

The Iranian embassy in Baghdad. The 'Iran Dossier' is reported to include documents found when 5 Iranians were seized in a raid by U.S. troops at an office in Kurdish Iraq. Iraq and Iran claimed they were invited consular officers, which the U.S. disputes.

The Bush administration is haunted by the history of intelligence blunders about Saddam Hussein's supposed weapons of mass destruction as the United States tries to document that Iran is providing lethal help to Iraqi fighters.

After weeks of preparation and revisions, U.S. officials are preparing to detail evidence supporting administration's claims of Iran's meddlesome and deadly activities. A briefing was scheduled Sunday in Baghdad.

The Iran dossier, some 200 pages thick in its classified form, was revised heavily after officials decided it was not ready for release as planned last month. What is made public probably would be short, and shorter on details than the administration recently had suggested.
