Iraq warns neighbors of terror threat

KUWAIT CITY, July 10 (AFP) - Iraq warned Sunday that the cycle of terror and violence raging in the war-torn nation could spread to its neighbors as a result of ongoing military campaigns against insurgency.

"Military pressure on terror organizations in Iraq will force it to export its operations across the border and certainly neighboring states are the nearest for the spread of these terrorists," Iraqi government spokesman Leith Kubba told Kuwaiti daily Al-Qabas.

"All of us are within the danger circle and all countries should support Iraq to help it get out of this terror swamp which constitutes a danger to all," Kubba said.

The Iraqi official said "terrorists" are infiltrating from Arab neighbors Syria and Saudi Arabia.

"You should ask Syria and Saudi Arabia from where terrorists come ... You should ask them for the reasons of the infiltration through their borders ... so the Iraqi nightmare comes to an end," Kubba said. "Unfortunately Iraq has become a big school for terror after leading terrorists have moved from Afghanistan into Iraq."

Iraqi officials have repeatedly warned that the return of thousands of Al Qaeda-linked operatives to their home countries after the end of insurgency will lead to terror attacks in those countries.

Saudi Arabia's Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said Saturday he expected militants who will return from fighting in Iraq to be worse than Afghan war returnees, who have been largely blamed for violence in the country.

Scores of Saudis are believed to be among foreign combatants who have infiltrated Iraq to fight U.S.-led forces and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government.
