Iraq: 200 explosive belts seized on Syrian border
Posted 39m ago

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces seized 200 explosive
belts Wednesday along the Syrian border, a police spokesman
said, reinforcing Baghdad's claims that its western neighbor
isn't doing enough to stop the flow of fighters and weapons
to al-Qaeda in Iraq.

The belts were found during a search of a truck that had
crossed into Iraq from Syria at the Waleed border station,
Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said.

"When the truck was searched, 200 explosives belts were
found in it," the general said. He said the driver was detained
but he would not give his name or nationalist.

Iraqi and U.S. authorities have long complained that Syria
is not doing enough to stem the flow of weapons, ammunition
and foreign fighters into Iraq. Syria insists it is trying to stop
the flow but that it is impossible to seal off the long desert
border.

2. The Bushies are just crazy enough to take them all on,
Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah too as one big evil alliance.
With what army? I cannot tell you.
