Al-Qaida in Iraq 'sought war between US and Iran'

Terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi planned to try to destroy the relationship between the United States and its Shiite allies in Iraq and help start a war between America and Iran.

Documents purporting to reflect al-Qaida policy and its cooperation with groups loyal to ousted president Saddam Hussein were found in al-Zarqawi's hideout following an air strike that killed the terrorist mastermind, the prime minister's office said.
