Description
On the banks of Shatt al-Arab, Iraqi fishermen live in fear of arrest by Iranian and Kuwaiti forces for crossing the riverine and maritime borders that separate Iraq from its two former enemies. About 15 kilometres (nine miles) from where the Tigris and the Euphrates merge and flow out to the Gulf lies the fishing port of Al-Faw. But the otherwise peaceful port town has been at the frontline of two wars that have shaped Iraq's modern history -- those with Iran and Kuwait. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
