| Two policemen, two looters killed in Baghdad shootout |
| 2003-08-27 |
| Two Iraqi policemen and two looters were killed Wednesday in an exchange of fire in the Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves Square, in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, according to a police officer. Like they say, you can’t make this stuff up. "The looters were attempting to rob a shop and a car when the police arrived. An exchange took place killing the two policemen, one of them an officer, as well as the two looters," Ahmed Hassan said. Two passersby were also injured in the incident. Sorry to hear about the police killed in the line of duty. |

| #5 Losing 2 cops willing to do their jobs in that society is terrible. I hope there is something that can be done for their families - as is the case in civilized societies where the same happens. This won't play well among those who might consider filling their shoes unless they are lionized by the witnesses. Sad outcome. |

| #2 Well that explains it. There wouldn't have been any looting if we had only sent more troops. |

| #1 Happened right in front of several news crews, causing no end of confusion when they realized that no Americans were involved. |
