A United Arab Emirates daily, citing unnamed sources, reported Wednesday the United
States was massing troops on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
The pro-government al-Bayan daily quoted unidentified Arab officials as saying
that Egypt and Saudi Arabia have reliable information from Damascus of U.S.
military mobilization on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
The sources also told the paper the U.S. forces have repeatedly crossed the
Iraqi border with the pretext of chasing infiltrators and Iraqi insurgents.
They said that Egypt and Saudi Arabia will express their grave concern over
the growing U.S. administration's threats against Syria during U.S. Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to the Middle East that starts at the end
of the week.
