| Samarra's police chief resigns |
| 2004-12-10 |
| The police head of Samarra, Maj. Gen. Talib Shamel al-Samarrai, announced his resignation on Thursday, saying that he can not do his job properly due to the unrest in the northern Iraqi city. Violence continued for the second day in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, leaving five Iraqis dead and several others injured including one U.S. soldier. On Wednesday, a U.S. army spokesman Capt. Bill Coppernoll said that eight rebels in two cars raided the home of Maj. Gen. al-Samarrai. |

| #1 Uh, did this guy even read the job description? Reword his statement to "He announced his resignation because he did not do his job properly." and I'm there. The Arab view, when you get it unvarnished like this, is always an instructive eye-opener. |
