Failed states and warzones, like Iraq, create a plume of violence downwind of them, like burning oilwells. Iraqslogger:
Sulaimaniyah, Feb 17, (VOI)- Iraq’s Kurdistan region border guards arrested on Saturday two persons while trying to smuggle arms to Iran, an official at Sulaimaniyah border guards department said. “The border guards arrested today two persons trying to illegally cross the Iraqi borders to Iran and confiscated 115 pistols found hidden in their car,” Brigadier Ahmed Gharib told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI). He added “the arrested smugglers were handed over to Sulaimaniyah security department.” Sualimaniyah border guards man checkpoints along the borderline with Iran.
Maybe they know where the WMDs are?
