21 shot dead in Iraq police station massacre
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041107/ts_afp/iraq_unrest&cid=1503&ncid=1480

RAMADI, Iraq (AFP) - Gunmen shot dead 21 policemen, execution style, in Iraq (news - web sites), one day after a scourge of car bombs and clashes against police and local government targets killed 36 people.


The renewed violence against symbols of Iraq's US-backed government came as Prime Minister Iyad Allawi looked set to mount an offensive on rebel-held Fallujah, in the heart of Al-Anbar province, where the police massacre occured.


About 200 gunmen ambushed the main police station in Haditha, a town 200 kilometres, (120 miles) west of Baghdad, and another smaller station in the nearby village of Haqlaniya, said a local police officer.


"The attackers disarmed the police, gathered them together and then shot them dead," he said of the Haditha raid.

1. Americans would be doing the same thing to collaborators if...
...the US was ever invaded and occupied by another country to steal our countries natural resources. Yes the would.
