200 Suicide Belts Captured In Truck Crossing From Syria

Evidently, there's a bomb factory in Syria that needs exploding, and some Syrian leaders that need some Ronald Reagan treatment for their misdeeds.

IRAQI security forces seized 200 explosive belts yesterday during a search of a lorry that had crossed into Iraq from Syria at the Waleed border station.

Major-General Abdul-Karim Khalaf an interior ministry spokesman said the driver was detained but he would not give his name or nationality.

Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner, a spokesman for the US military,, said that 60 to 80 foreign fighters enter Iraq "in any given month" - 70 per cent of them through Syria. He said up to 90 per cent of the suicide attacks in Iraq were carried out by "foreign-born al-Qaeda terrorists".
