| Jordan seals off borders with Iraq |
| 2006-01-10 |
 Jordan has closed all border outlets with neighboring Iraq starting today Monday and until a further notice, by request from the Iraqi side. A statement released by the Public Security Department here said traffic to the Iraqi territories, has been suspended for Arab travelers including Jordanians, but except for foreigners and truck drivers. This applies to all border outlets by request from the Iraqi authorities starting from today. |

| #3 They probably noted a big shift in illegals from Syria, and since crossing the Saudi, Turkish and Iranian borders are problematic, that leaves Jordan. It's reached the point where a good analogy is cutting off the oxygen from the insurgents. |

| #2 Doesn't sound like much of a sealed border, too many exceptions. I guess they will let Arab truck drivers through... |

| #1 Yup, as commented yesterday the warnings are out, Jordan is next. I wonder if the King has asked for help housecleaning? |
