In Haditha, 200km north-west of Baghdad, fighters with rocket-propelled grenades and mortars attacked a police station at dawn on Sunday. After a 90-minute battle in which six policemen were wounded, the attackers took 21 captured policemen to the K-3 oil-pumping station area and shot them dead.


In nearby Haqlaniya, Brigadier Shaher al-Jughaifi, security chief in western Iraq, died in an attack on a police post. Fighters killed another Iraqi police officer and wounded one in the town of Baquba, north-east of Baghdad, police said.
 

"A large number of attackers, estimated at about 200, ambushed the main police station in Haditha and another smaller one in Haqlaniya," an officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. "The attackers disarmed the police, gathered them together and then shot them dead," he said. Policemen found their colleagues with their hands tied behind their backs, while the attackers made off with their weapons and about 15 vehicles.


Seen as collaborating with the US-led military, Iraq's fledgling security forces are a top target for groups fighting to drive out foreign forces.

1. Soars on the Wings of an Eagle!

A bald eagle to be specific.

[DannyRed]

4. A Balled Eagle?

Cool.

Never seen one.

Either that, or it's "balled" as in "fucked"...and in that case, I agree...

Houston, the Eagle is fucked.

5. LOL - very funny

I can't decide if you actually think my "bald" has two "l's" in it, or you are just messing with me?

[DannyRed]

7. Just messin'

Bald (have seen several)...sounds like Balled (as in "with testes") which is homophonic with "Balled" (slang for sex)...

Just funnin'
