Four killed in attacks on Iraqi police
Gunmen killed four policemen and wounded at least nine more in separate attacks in Baghdad today. The reputed leader of al Qaida in Iraq said the country’s security forces were as great an enemy as the Americans and brushed aside calls to abandon the insurgency.
The latest attacks occurred one day after two more diplomats from Muslim countries were ambushed in suspected kidnap attempts in Baghdad following the weekend abduction of Egypt’s top envoy in the country.
