Turkish security belt in north Iraq

The Turkish daily al-Zamaan ( the times) said on Monday that Turkey ha formed a security belt and military points in northern Iraq district in order to prevent a possible migration to Turkey in case the US carries a military operation against Iraq.

The paper quoted employees of the Kurdish intelligence at the military inspection point in north Iraq as saying that the US is coordinating with Turkey to launch a military operation against Iraq, noting that this sort of coordination is secret and stems from Washington's care not to damage its relations with other Muslims states which oppose the launching of this operation.
