Saudis boost security on border to prevent intruders from Iraq
2005-09-02
Saudi security agencies have stepped up measures to prevent intrusion from Iraq, said Major General Abdul Rahman Al Ebrahim, Commander of the Border Guards in the Eastern Province. Saudi authorities on Tuesday arrested five Iraqi car thieves after a late-night shootout. "Investigation is on to find out how the five Iraqi intruders illegally entered the Kingdom," he said.

The arrest of five Iraqis was a major security achievement, he said, adding that the border guards and other security agencies would work together to prevent intrusion of foreigners. A passport department official said the Iraqis, who entered the Kingdom illegally, would be deported "We'll deport the intruders in coordination with Iraqi security authorities after making sure they don't have any criminal cases," the official told reporters.

The border guards said intruders were using different methods to enter the Kingdom. Saudi border guards arrested 682 infiltrators from Iraq in the northern province of Hafr Al Batin over the past six months, a newspaper reported yesterday. Some of the Iraqis who infiltrated across the 800-kilometre-long frontier are suspected of being car thieves, Okaz said, quoting a source. An average of five cars are being stolen every day in Hafr Al Batin, it said.
