The Saudi royal family are building a 600-mile barrier to fortify the northern frontier of
their kingdom.The fence and ditch, punctuated with radar surveillance towers,
command centres and guard posts, aims to protect the Saudis' oil-rich territory from
invasion by the Islamic State insurgency.Last week a suicide bombing and gun attack
which killed two Saudi border guards and their commanding officer was styled by one
analyst as the Islamic State's first attack on the kingdom.The multi-layered barrier,
which will eventually stretch across the Saudi-Iraq border from Jordan to Kuwait,
includes 78 monitoring
towers, eight command centres, 10 mobile surveillance vehicles,
32 rapid-response centres, and three rapid intervention squads,
