| Iraq: 200 explosive belts found in Syrian truck |
| 2007-07-12 |
| Iraqi security forces have seized 200 explosive belts in a truck that crossed into Iraq from Syria on Wednesday, Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said. The incident occurred at the Waleed border crossing point, Khalaf said. "When the truck was searched, 200 explosives belts were found in it," the general said. He added that the driver was detained and is being questioned. Khalaf did not give the driver's nationality. The Iraqi government and US authorities have accused Syria of allowing foreign fighters to cross into Iraq, a claim that Syria denies saying it is impossible to control the long desert border. |

| #7 Why use a border crossing? For diversion? The other 800 belts came across a night on a goat path. |

| #6 Easily fixed - get Israel to elect someone with a pair, and the tell them we have their back if they want to go after Syria ins a small way (take out Assad and the general staff). Unfortunately, that assumes we have someone with a pair who will back Israel. Sadly, we don't. |

| #5 The border should be sealed. Then this truck could have been taken out when it crossed the border. |

| #3 As the driver explained many times, he was merely delivering a shipment of the latest fall fashions for men. The very latest accessorized jackets, don't ya know. |
