| 2005-03-10 |
 The chief of Baghdad's Central Police Station has been assassinated, according to reports. Insurgents dressed in Iraqi police uniforms are understood to have carried out the attack. Police sources claim the attackers set up a fake police checkpoint and stopped the officer's car as he was on the way to work at Salhiya police station. After asking his name, they shot Colonel Ahmed Obaiss along with two other policemen in his car. One of the insurgents filmed the killing, police said. |

| #1 There is exactly zero chance that they will turn back the clock to a Ba'athist dictatorship, so the term insurgents misses the mark - they can't effectively resist and obviously not overthrow -- they can only sporadically terrorize... Terroristsis a better fit, IMHO. The hate the Iraqis are now feeling toward these scumbags will eventually be the source of their destruction. More. Sooner. Faster. |
