Saudi Arabia: Reactivation of the Miksa border surveillance programmenote

There is a talk that the Saudi Interior Ministry has reactivated the Miksa border surveillance programme. This confirms our previous reports suggesting that the Ministry would reactivate some border security projects as soon as the Hajj season that took place early last month was over. The following 396-word report included in Tactical Weekly of January 2, 2009, focuses on the Saudi border security issue. It also talks about some proposals presented by the Saudi National Security Council and the Saudi Arabian National Guard on the same issue.
