IRNA

Beirut, Nov 4, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Syria, Iran and Kuwait have 
decided to sign `agreements for ensuring security on their borders 
with Iraq for the purpose of stopping illegal infiltration of 
militants`, the Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq al-Awsat wrote on Tuesday 
with reference to reliable sources in the Provisional Governing 
Council of Iraq. 
According to the newspaper, the agreements will provide for the 
exchanges of intelligence data, joint control over the frontier line 
with the use of modern equipment and the improvement of customs and 
border control on the whole of the border. 
Leaders of the Provisional Governing Council and Abdel Aziz 
al-Hakim, leader of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution of 
Iraq, discussed a possibility of signing the agreements during their 
visits to Damascus, Tehran and Kuwait in October this year, Al-Sharq 
al-Awsat wrote. 
A special operation for blocking 55 smuggler routes on the 
Syrian-Lebanese border was staged on Monday. According to official 
sources in Beirut, the operation was staged at the request of Damascus
after Washington accused Syria of allowing the infiltration of foreign
militants to Iraq from Syria and Lebanon.
