Exclusive: By James Cusick Westminster Editor and David Pratt Foreign Editor

Coalition claims that Iraq may still be able to hold elections in January are seriously undermined by secret intelligence material passed to the Sunday Herald which reveals the full extent of the resistance in the country.

Far from a limited number of pro-Saddam resistance groups fighting coalition forces, well-funded cells and militias representing a spectrum of Islamic groups are now spread across Iraq.

They include Sunni resistance groups, BaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢athist groups loyal to the ousted Saddam regime, ShiÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ite resistance groups, and other terrorists groups that have moved into Iraq from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Pakistan and Egypt since the occupation began in the spring of last year.

The intelligence revision of the scale of the insurgency, which puts the number of militant cells at over 50 and growing, indicates that the current level of coalition forces will struggle to cope with an increased level of insurgent activity as the election approaches next year.

The documents show that terrorist and militia activity is spreading across Iraq and is not just limited to Baghdad and Fallujah.

Yes, very sad indeed, and its not going to get any better. We are all to blame for it. Some people in Europe blames ISRAEL and the United States. The terrorists have alway's been with us and its not going away.

Was this not all foretold two centuries ago by some guy preaching on some mountain. Matthew 24.

No I have not got religion since I was last here. But I have been reading by the book.

Yes we are all to blame for it. Sometimes I feel that there is a terrorist within each of us. Only its manifestation is different in different people. Let us convert this terrorist with love for all and hate for none.

You are right. Terrorism is spreading across the world. Double standards breed terrorism.
