Iraqi police come under attack
BAGHDAD - Iraqi police came under attack in Baghdad overnight in what US-led authorities have described as a growing pattern of Iraqi strikes and threats against compatriots cooperating with the occupying forces.

Unidentified assailants lobbed grenades at the police station in northern Baghdad, injuring two Iraqi policemen, a US intelligence officer said, asking not to be identified. He said no US soldiers were wounded in the attack.

At least two attackers threw three or more grenades and fired gunshots at the police station in the city's Ash-Shab district, where US military police are stationed to train members of Iraq's new police force.

"Two Iraqi police were wounded by shrapnel, one in the hand and one in the pelvis," the officer said, adding that the US army believed one attacker was wounded in an ensuing exchange of fire but escaped.

1. Setting up any kind of self government
Edited on Tue Jul-08-03 06:08 AM by RC
without civil war has gone down the tubes. It is too late. Has this administration done anything righ.... correctly? Seems like they can't think about anything except their greedy goals. And when reality hits their plans, they're lost. They have no clue. They believe their own lies & spin.

The US & Briton need to get out of Iraq. Let the UN, the rest of the world put the pieces back together, as best as can be done. Let the next more sane administrations here try to repair the damage done the world in the last 40 years.

If this administration were a person, they would be either be in jail or treatment.

There are several buck$ flying around Washington. They will all find resting places. The lies are becoming too blatant. The sickness of bu$h&co has become too obvious to hide even from their own supporters.
