The Jordanian weekly al-Majd said in its Monday's issue that certain Arab countries adjoining Iraq have taken tough security measures along their borders and airports and crossing of fears that the secretary general of the Fatah movement, the revolutionary Council, Abu Nidal ( know as Sabri al-Banna ) will cross these countries into one of the European states to complete medical treatment there.

The paper added that according to Lebanese security sources that more than one Arab and foreign countries bordering Iraq, where Abu Nidal lives, since he had left Egypt in the year 2000, put their border security into a state of alert after information leaked saying that Abu Nidal intends to travel with his wife and any of his children and friends to a European state to resume his treatment from " blood disease," as no successful medical treatment will be useful for him in besieged Iraq.
