Iraqi men wait at the Syrian-Iraqi border of Abu Kamal, November 6, 2004, about 600 km ( 373 miles) northwest of the Syrian capital, as American troops closed the border gate from the Iraqi side on Thursday. The U.S. has accused Damascus of not doing enough to control its side of the borders with Iraq that is allowing foreign fighters to enter Iraq. REUTERS/Khaled al-Hariri Kh/DL
