- Story Text: Two police officers assassinated in al-Saidiya
area, clashes between insurgents and Iraqi police.
Insurgents clashed with Iraqi security forces in
Baghdad's southern neighbourhood of Saidiya on Saturday
morning (December 11). Gun battles occurred in a wide area
leading to casualties amongst Iraq's police force and
National guard.
In a separate attack, unknown gunmen assassinated two
members of the Iraqi police force in a drive-by shooting in
the same area. The victims included a high-ranking officer.
Insurgents have repeatedly attack Iraqi security
forces, part of a month long campaign to destroy the
confidence of the fledging security forces.
