US Report: Iran's State Sponsored Terrorism Rises
May 30th 2013, 21:16

The United States says 2012 saw a marked resurgence of Iran's state sponsored terrorism, while the core of al-Qaida in Pakistan continued to weaken. An annual report that the U.S. State Department submitted Thursday to Congress says both Iran and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah were exceptionally active in plotting terrorist activities last year, and provided a  broad range of support to Syria's regime in its crackdown on the Syrian people.
