Jordan tightens border security to prevent Palestinians from travelling through to Iraq: Jordan has toughened measures aimed at preventing Palestinians from entering the kingdom. The new restrictions, which include a total ban on the entry of West Bank and Jerusalem residents, reflect Jordan's growing fear that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians will flock to the kingdom when and if the US attacks Iraq. The Jerusalem Post reports that one of the reasons for the new regulations is connected to reports that many Palestinians are trying to travel to Iraq via Jordan to join the Iraqi army in the fight against the Americans and their allies.
