Car Bomb Attack Kills 15 Iraqi Policemen

33 minutes ago Middle East - AP


By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A man wearing a police uniform drove a car bomb inside the main police compound in Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s hometown north of Baghdad on Thursday, setting off a massive explosion that killed 15 police and wounded 22, officials and witnesses said.


At least four other police were killed in separate attacks across the country, including another suicide car bomb assault on a police convoy in Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of the capital.

The blast in Tikrit, 80 miles north of Baghdad, occurred at one of the station's busiest times, when dozens of policemen were arriving to relieve colleagues who'd been working all night, police Col. Saad Daham said.


"He waited until the shift change, then he exploded the car," Daham said, adding the aim was "to kill as many as possible."

3. Not the first time. Insurgents in IP uniforms set-up a fake roadblock
and used it to stop and massacre a bunch of Iraqi police.
