Iraq to Up Searches of Iran Overflights to Syria
2013-03-31
[An Nahar] Iraq said on Saturday it will step up searches of Iranian flights via its airspace to Syria, days after U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...

for turning a blind eye to them.

But while Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's front man spoke of newly tightened restrictions on Iranian flights to Syria, the head of Iraq's civil aviation authority acknowledged that no planes had been searched since October.

"Because of a lot of information which referred to transportation of weapons, we have increased the activity of inspections," Maliki's front man Ali Mussawi told Agence La Belle France Presse.

"We will carry out more random searches, to be assured that there is no weapons transfer."

#1  On a separate note, IMO iff the US was truly worried about these Iran overflights, it would be there back in Iraq already checking + double-checking these planes itself.

just sayin'.
