Huge Drop In Saudi Terrorists Entering Iraq
Riyadh, Feb 2, (VOI) – Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bulani said there was a remarkable decline in the number of Saudi fighters infiltrating into Iraq, adding Iraq managed to build 583 new border stations to fine-tune security.
“Iraq is in possession of accurate security information about terrorists who fled Iraq to their own countries and others still hiding in some places in Iraq and other countries in the region,” Bulani said in an interview with the Saudi Jeddah-based newspaper Okaz.
“Saudi Arabia’s plans to set up a security buffer zone on the joint borders with Iraq was a sovereign decision respected by the Iraqis,” Bulani told the Saudi paper by telephone from Tunisia, where he is currently attending an Arab interior ministers meeting.
On security conditions in the war-scourged country, the Iraqi interior minister said “matters were going better. There was a remarkable decrease in terrorist and criminal operations and improvement in security agencies’ performance.”
The Iraqi interior ministry, he said, built a professional apparatus. “In this stage we recruited and trained 115,000 policemen to take responsibilities in many areas of Iraq,” he added.
Bulani lauded steps to get tribesmen and locals “in terrorism-afflicted areas to work with the police,” noting they have become policemen defending those areas after receiving fine training.”
Bombings, killings and kidnappings remain limited and more than 60 places to prepare car bombs and improvised explosive devices were destroyed, he said.
On the Saudi detainees in Iraq and whether Baghdad planned to hand over to Saudi Arabia, Bulani replied that extradition of wanted persons is ruled by agreements.
“There was a security agreement signed in Riyadh in 1983 and Iraq is keen to work together with the brothers in the (Saudi) Kingdom and other countries concerned with combating terror,” he explained.

It is the Saudis with their Salifi Whabbiist pschopathy that is at the heart of this “Third Jihad”. So long as they are allowed to build their salifist mosques in the west and give the money from oil profits to every salif jihadi organization, nothing will ever change in Iraq or anywhere else for that matter.
The west needs to stop buying salifist oil. That’ how the monies flowing to the jihadis will be cut off.
The west needs to halt all construction of mosques and monitor these salif Imans; or just put them in the next banana boat to Saudi (after punching holes in the bottom).
80% of all mosques are Salif. 80% of the Muslim world is Sunni. Get the picture?
