Another wall that the BBC will not make much fuss about

The BBC love to decry the 'apartheid wall' that Israel built to stop Islamic terrorists from killing Israeli civilians, the BBC much preferring to report the numbers of Israelis that have died in a suicide bomb. So I was interested to read in The Times that:
'Baghdad is to resort to one of the oldest forms of defence by building a massive wall around the capital to keep out insurgents, The Times has learnt.

A series of recent suicide bombings has driven the governor of the Iraqi capital to propose the concrete barrier, which will be 15ft (4.5m) high and 70 miles (112km) long. Every man, beast and vehicle entering will be searched at one of only eight gates along the main highways. '
Not a whisper about this story on the BBC but then as I have shown before the BBC only cover the Israeli 'apartheid wall' and not the one on the Saudi-Yemeni border, the one on Iran's 900 km border with Pakistan or the one built by Morocco in the Western Sahara. As with so many transnational organisations, only Israel is ever guilty and censurable.
