Iraq people are facing all this for tbe reason that they are not responsible for these. So this must stop at any cost.

Iraq has begun stationing thousands of extra police on its border with Syria to stop militants its says are crossing into Iraq to carry out bomb attacks.

Amid a growing row, the two countries have traded insults and recalled their ambassadors in recent weeks.

Baghdad says members of the Baath Party of former leader Saddam Hussein, hiding in Syria, organised two attacks in Iraq on 19 August which killed about 100.

Damascus has dismissed Iraq's claims as immoral and illogical.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said: "We have given them the evidence that we have through the Turkish foreign minister and we are waiting for their response."

Baghdad has asked the United Nations to set up an international tribunal to try people from neighbouring countries suspected of orchestrating violence in Iraq.
