The Iraqi army said that it will not allow any threat to Iraq from Syria, after Syrian rebels ousted president Bashar Al Assad. “The situation in Syria is unstable and we will not allow our borders to be threatened,” the army’s chief of staff Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah told Iraq News Agency. “The Iraqi borders are fully secured … and have been reinforced with a defensive line from the army and the Popular Mobilization Forces,” he said.
