Outgunned/trapped, Iraqi police stormed by insurgents (Baghdad, 16 dead)

Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 09:49 PM by henslee

Insurgents stormed a police station in Baghdad yesterday, killing at least 16 policemen in one of the deadliest attacks in weeks. The well-organised assault shows the continuing effectiveness of the resistance forces despite the capture of their headquarters in Fallujah by US Marines last month.

Early yesterday, some 30 masked and heavily armed men opened fire from the roofs of neighbouring houses on al-Amil police station near the airport road in the south of the capital.
