Times - The governor of Dhi Qar, Yahya Mohammed Baqir al-Nasseri told
the press the security forces responsible for the protection of
Nasiriyah Central Prison had been forced to open fire onto a Saudi plane
which was suspiciously hovering above its prison.The governor noted in a press statement, "The security forces overseeing
the protection of Nasiriyah central prison reported at dawn on Monday
the presence of an aircraft ... Following careful monitoring the plane
was pursued and shot at." He added that upon being engaged the plane
retreated back to Saudi Arabia's airspace.Al-Nasseri justified the harsh stance on account that the
prison accounts terrorists as inmates. There are over 1600 detainees at
Nasiriyah prison.The governor stressed that his security forces would remain on
high alert as to prevent any break-out attempt or rescue operation. He
added that Iraq would not tolerate any violations of its territorial
sovereignty.Officials have been keen to avoid yet another al-Qaeda jail break out.
