Iraq Police Improving? (Or Mosques are Holy Places?)
Another press release from CentCom which will probably not make it into your MSM Iraq news roundup.NPs SEIZE IEDs IN ALl KUR MOSQUE BAGHDAD Iraqi National Police from 3rd Battalion, 5th Brigade, 2nd National Police Division, seized weapons and munitions when they searched the Al Kur Mosque and nearby houses Thursday in Mansour, a muhalla in western Baghdad. Upon entering the mosque, the policemen discovered a completed improvised-explosive device, an IED that was not yet complete, components for an armor piercing IED, three sets of body armor and an AK-47. The search expanded to houses around the mosque; when residents saw the NPs coming, they fled. The policemen discovered Iraqi Police uniform items, pictures of military activities, a pistol and loose 7.62mm ammunition in a house directly adjacent to the mosque. In another nearby house, they discovered a police scanner that was monitoring the NPs while they were searching the mosque. Posted by: Glenmore 2006-10-23 |
