US Marines cut border fence between Iraq and Kuwait

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday March 07, 2003 13:26author by silo Report this post to the editors

Reports that US marines have cut large gaps in the electrified fence between Iraq and Kuwait are being marginalised in the mainstream media.

According to reports in the mainstream media, US marines have cut between three and seven large gaps in the electrified fence on the border between Iraq and Kuwait.

The news was first published on the BBC website at 4.30 this morning (Fri 07.03.03.) [[ link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2828031.stm ]].

The story is being linked from the BBC's main page.

Sky News is also carrying the story [[ link: http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,15410-12263552,00.html ]]. However, there is no direct link to the story given from the main or interior news pages.

The New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe online editions carry no mention of the incidents.

The incident is of questionable legality at a time when the Bush Administration is still insisting that Saddam Hussein can avoid a war.
