Iraq: A French company offers “anti-terrorist trees”
A French company has benefited from Floralies Baghdad for Iraqi leaders to propose a revolutionary concept to protect the capital of terrorism while the embellishing replace concrete walls by plant barriers.
“We suggest to combine safety and environment and to replace these walls that the city disfigured by natural hedges of impenetrable security,” says Jean-Marie Zimmermann, responsible for the export of Sinnoveg a nursery of 420 acres located in Châtillon – on-Chalaronne, (Ain), in eastern France.
For five years, because of the attacks and the war interconfessional, neighborhoods of Baghdad look like camps. Even if Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has ordered to reopen by the end of 2009 all the streets blocked, there are still including protective walls around the “green zone”, an ultra-protected area that houses official buildings and many embassies.
“It’s the type of place that we can protect them. We can rebuild Baghdad a city focused on nature, ecology and the environment with a new concept of security”, this commercial law.
The principle of closing the plant is simple but unique. Thorny shrubs are planted at 80 cm distance and then woven together to form a wall that will grow and will have the advantage to densify over time to become an impenetrable mass.
“It is obvious that there not only of the plant. This is the scene but in our concept of security we can put inside the barbed wire and anti-truck plates, sensors, a series of declinations Security invisible, “he says.
“A tank is not a truck. The terrorist will think it is a wall and running with his truck but it will be blocked,” he adds.
The concept was launched five years ago and it has already provided protection from Nuclear Research Center of Saclay, near Paris, a prison for minors, stations and airports and is under discussion to protect sensitive civilian sites United States.
“I’m not really come here for Flowers, even if it is a great idea to give a new image of Iraq, but to meet with security officials,” he said outside his booth in the park Zawra , which takes place this international exhibition until 22 April.
The representative of Sinnoveg, the arid climate of Iraq is not a problem. “We have seeds from around the world. We have shrubs that will -28 degrees to over 42 degrees. Above, the heat can be stifling, but they just live it,” he says.
He also wants to propose to the Iraqis to block the infiltration of insurgents from neighboring countries.
“A barrier of vegetation on some parts of the Iraqi border is perfectly playable in putting detectors,” he says.
“When you have five or six rows of thorny trees, at least one hour for the crossing is more than enough to catch those who try to enter it,” he says.
“Nothing is insurmountable, not even a wall, but infiltration is slowed terribly, this is the principle and can be detected quickly and accurately,” he adds.
Questioned as to whether the rebels could burn down these barriers, it laughs. “They should be attacking the torch. And yet.”
