President Bush has accused Iran of helping Shi'ite militias in Iraq build more effective roadside bombs, the most lethal weapon against U.S. forces and Iraqi civilians.

The president said Monday the U.S. government is intensifying its effort to fight the bombs.

President Bush blamed Iran directly for helping Iraqi insurgents improve their improvised explosive devices, or IED's, the weapon that is responsible for more than half of the 1,800 U.S. combat deaths in Iraq.

"Some of the most powerful IED's we're seeing in Iraq today include components that came from Iran," said President Bush. "Our Director of National Intelligence, John Negroponte, told the congress Tehran has been responsible for at least some of the increasing lethality of anti-coalition attacks by providing Shia' militia with the capability to build improvised explosive devices in Iraq. Coalition forces have seized IED's and components that were clearly produced in Iran."
