Saudi Arabia building massive fence along Iraqi border to keep out IS jihadists
SAUDI ARABIA: Saudi Arabia has begun constructing a 965km wall along its northern border with Iraq in an effort to keep out ISIL fanatics. ISIL jihadists raided a post on the border near Judayyidat Ararm on January 5, killing three Saudi guards including a commander, in an apparent attack on the construction of the wall. Four ISIL militants were also killed in the skirmish which included a suicide bombing. The UK Telegraph reported that the wall was first proposed in 2006 but building work began in September last year.
The completed wall will consist of twin fences and a ditch, and will extend from near Turaif, where Saudi Arabia meets Iraq and Jordan, to Hafar Al- Batin, on the Kingdom’s border with Iraq and Kuwait.

The majority of Saudi Arabians are Sunni Muslims.
