Saudis Plan to Fence Their Border With Iraq

From the BBC:

Saudi Arabia will press ahead with the construction of a security fence to seal off the border with Iraq, the interior minister has said.

Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz said it would prevent the entry of Islamic militants and illegal immigrants.

The 900-km (560 mile) fence is part of the larger electronic shield which the kingdom plans to build to secure its northern, western and southern borders.

My Comments:
Awaiting Cardinal Martino's reaction.

On the subject of border fences and Cardinal Martino, there is a rather interesting dialogue taking place between American Papist and Evangelical Catholicism. (Hat tip: Res Publica et Cetera)
