(UTV|COLOMBO) – Iraq has begun the construction of a security fence along its border with Syria to stop ISIL members from crossing into the country, the Al Jazeera reported.
The frontier barrier, which includes a six-metre-wide trench, so far runs for 20 kilometres North from the area around the border town of al-Qaim, which Iraqi forces retook from ISIL in November.
