What of this Quds force? He's blaming this Iranian group for placing explosives in Iraq.

3. Thank you for that link, interesting that this Qods Force began in
...1990 when Bush I was president

The group maintains and builds contacts with underground Islamic militant organizations throughout the Arab World.<1> It also collects strategic and military intelligence around the world, possibly having operatives in the United States.<2> Qods Force was founded in 1990 and reports directly to the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<3><4> Its current commander is Brigadier General Qassem Suleimani.
