| Ten insurgents were killed in a clash with Iraqi security forces during a raid in the northern city of Mosul, a top commander said today. Maj. Gen. Rasheed Feleih said two rebels were captured during the firefight, which flared overnight when a police special forces unit was conducting a sweep through the city's troubled al-Islah neighbourhood. Mosul's 5,000-member police force disintegrated during an insurgent uprising last month, forcing the US command and the interim government to divert troops from the offensive in Fallujah. Two police officers were injured in yesterday's fighting, said Feleih, who heads the police special forces group in Mosul. |
