Besides these projects, they look to have another project, which is to build a security fence along their border with Iran too. The following 379-word article, published in Tactical Report Weekly Brief’s issue of June 13, 2008, tells how the Iraqis are going to proceed with the project. It also tells whether the Iraqis have already discussed the project with the Iranians or not, and whether they intend to invite Iranian companies to participate or not. It also names some foreign defence contractors already on the Iraqi list of contacts.
