Iraq says to close its borders Feb. 17-22
 Iraq will close all its borders for five days starting next week, the government said on Thursday, in a move designed to boost security. The borders will be closed between Feb. 17 and Feb. 22, the government said. It gave no specific reason for the closure but the dates coincide with the climax of a major Shi'ite religious ceremony attacked by multiple suicide bombers last year.Posted by: Fred 2005-02-11 |
