Iraq Seizes Explosive Belts

Iraqi security forces seized 200 explosive belts along the Syrian border. This reinforces Baghdad's claims that its western neighbor isn't doing enough to stop the flow of fighters and weapons to Al-Qaida in Iraq. The belts were found during a search of a truck that had crossed into Iraq from Syria at the Waleed border station. When the truck was searched 200 explosive belts were found in it. He said the driver was detained but he would not give his name or nationality. Syria insists it is trying to seal off the flow but it is impossible to seal off the long desert border.
