Explosives Found in Truck Heading From Syria to Iraq

 

    

BAGHDAD – AP — Iraqi security forces have seized 200 explosive belts from a truck they say crossed into Iraq from Syria today.

That word comes from a spokesman for the Interior Ministry. The driver of the truck is being held for questioning. Iraq’s government and U-S authorities have been accusing Syria of allowing foreign fighters to cross into Iraq.

Syria denies the charge, but acknowledges it’s impossible to control the long desert border between the two countries.
