Saudi Interior Minister: Syria Isn't Preventing Infiltration Into Iraq

Elements attending yesterday’s conference of interior ministers of countries neighboring Iraq said that Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abd Al-Aziz embarrassed his Syrian counterpart by hinting that Syria was not preventing the passage of terrorists from its territory into Iraq.

Hinting at Iran, the prince said that Iraq's neighbors must help it without such help "constituting a pretext for interfering in its affairs."
