Sept 12 (Reuters) - Iraq ordered the closure of the Shalamcheh border crossing between Iraq and Iran as a precautionary measure after the latest drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, two security sources told Reuters on Saturday.

The sources said a wide-scale operation was underway to pursue perpetrators of the attack on Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh said on Friday its vital East-West pipeline was attacked by drones that were launched from Iraq.
