Iraq Calls on Neighbors to Stop Insurgency

By PATRICK QUINN
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari called on neighboring countries Thursday to help prevent foreign terrorists from crossing into Iraq as a series of attacks killed more than a dozen Iraqis and one American soldier.

Al-Jaafari's appeal came a day after a top U.S. military official said the leaders of Iraq's most notorious terrorist group recently held a secret meeting in neighboring Syria, where they plotted the recent wave of insurgent violence that has killed hundreds of people.

``There are infiltrations of non-Iraqis through the border to carry out sabotage activities,'' al-Jaafari said of the meeting that may have been attended by most-wanted militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi himself. ``It's up to our geographical neighbors. We are keen to preserve relations between us and neighboring countries, and these relations should be good.''

Face it folks, Syria harbors terrorists. How do you think we should approach this problem?

1. We negotiate with Syria. Give Syria some economic or political incentive to change its ways;

2. Forget about negotiation and attack Syria;

3. Get the hell outta Iraq tomorrow 'cos it ain't our problem;

4. Unconditionally surrender to the terrorists and beg for forgiveness;

5. Send death squads into Syria and kill the terrorists;

6. Others (Please explain)
