Iraq to build moat around Baghdad
 BAGHDAD: Iraq said on Friday it would dig trenches around Baghdad and seal off dozens of roads with access to the capital as a new security measure to restrict insurgent movements. "As a new security measure, access to the capital will be permitted only through 28 roads," Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier General Abdel Karim Khalaf said, adding these roads would have new checkpoints. "Dozens of other minor roads with access to the capital will be sealed by trenches and barbed wire."Posted by: Fred 2006-09-16 |
