Al-Anbar police chief jugged
Also Saturday, coalition forces arrested Maj. Gen. Jaadan Mohammed al-Alwan, the police chief of volatile Anbar province, accusing him of corruption and criminal activity, including extortion, embezzlement and accepting bribes, the U.S. military said in a statement. Al-Alwan also has possible connections with kidnapping and murder, the military said. Al-Alwan's arrest was authorized by the Iraqi government, and he is to be replaced by an interim chief to be appointed by the governor, the statement said. Posted by: Fred 2004-08-22 |
