Saudi Minister confirms building a wall along Iraq borders |
2007-11-05 |
RIYADH (KUNA) -- Saudi Interior Minister, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz, has confirmed the Kingdom's plan to build a security wall along the borders with Iraq. The Saudi Ministry received 14 applications from local and international firms to build the iron curtain-style security wall, Prince Naif said in statements Sunday night noting that the offers were being studied. Meanwhile, the Saudi Minister warned against any attempts for "sectarian divisions" in Iraq, a matter that would take a heavy toll not only on the country's stability but on the region as a whole. On a potential US strike against Iran, Prince Naif said he hoped such strike would not take place. He also stressed the close collaboration among the Interior Ministries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states for combating terrorism. Saudi Arabia signed anti-terrorism agreements with Oman and the UAE and will soon sign similar ones with Kuwait and Qatar. As for the agreement the Kingdom is due to sign with Italy during a visit by King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz today (Monday), Prince Naif said it is a comprehensive security agreement that covers combating terrorism, drugs, money-laundering, criminals extraditions and the exchange of relevant data. Referring to the Saudi nationals who returned from the US Guantanamo detention camp, Minister Naif said that the Ministry had managed to merge them in the society anew through intensive efforts. He also revealed that they would soon start trying suspects in blasts that took place in the Kingdom |

#8 Saudi Minister confirms building a wall along Iraq borders With gates, of course, (Freedom)fighters free access out. Where they instantly become terrorists, until re-admitted, then they're innocent civilians again. |

#1 the iron curtain-style security wall That's much more serious than the one the Israelis built... or the one the U.S. is building on their southern border. |
