"Saudis To Construct 900 KM Security Fence []"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "11/14/2006 11:20:28 PM Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz has said that Saudi Arabia will go ahead with the construction of a security fence to seal off the border with Iraq to prevent the entry al-Qaeda fighters as well as drug dealers, weapon smugglers and potentially large numbers of Iraqi refugees.
The construction of the 900-km fence expected to begin next year and take up to six years is part of the larger electronic shield which the kingdom plans to build to secure its northern, western and southern borders. The $12bn project will use devices such as remote sensors and thermal cameras."
