Saudi builds northern border fence against infiltrators
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (AFP) - Saudi Arabia has inaugurated a multilayered fence along its northern borders, as part of efforts to secure the kingdom's vast desert frontiers against infiltrators and smugglers, state media said.
King Abdullah announced late Friday the launch of the first stage of a border security programme, covering 900 kilometres (560 miles) of the northern frontier, SPA state news agency reported.
SPA did not name Iraq, Saudi Arabia's neighbour to the north, referring only to the northern frontier, but the two countries' common border stretches over 800 kilometres (500 miles).
The project includes five layers of fencing which will cut the "number of infiltrators, drug, arms and cattle smugglers to zero," SPA said.
It said surveillance would be reinforced by watch towers, night-vision cameras and 50 radars.
Control complexes have been built in areas stretching from Hafr al-Batin in the northeast to Turaif near the Jordanian border, SPA said.

We would be far better off with King Abdullah as President than our Kenyan Muslim terrorist Hussein Obama bin Laden because the king takes his responsibility to secure the borders, prevent illegal immigration and protect the territorial sovereignty of his country seriously without kowtowing to racist and socialist Hispanic left-wing fringe political activists. Let's trade Barry for the Saudi king to whom he bowed down on his way to Egypt to sell out USA and Israel to the Islamic fascists of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Why doesn't Obama take border security seriously? Why does it seem like he's selling out Citizens of the United States to foreigners? Why are the richest 1 and 10 percent becoming more wealthy under his policies? American's are being drowned by more debt? Over $17 trillions? How can any people pay that back? Debt slavery on his watch?
