Saudi Arabia: Sandwiched by jihadists in Iraq and Yemen
Saudi Arabia: Sandwiched by jihadists in Iraq and Yemen - BBC News
Along Saudi Arabia's long, lonely desert border with its northern neighbour Iraq, the Ministry of Interior guards have every reason to stay alert.
Isis, the well-armed and well-funded jihadist army that has seized control of most of western Iraq, is now effectively at the kingdom's doorstep.
Nearly half the 900km (560 mile) Saudi-Iraq border is with Iraq's Anbar province where The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis), now rebranded as simply "The Islamic State", is largely able to move its fighters around at will.
Saudi Arabia may not yet be directly in its sights but officials fear this is only a matter of time.
