A police officer and three of his aides were killed in an armed attack targeting a police patrol west of Baghdad, the Iraqi police said Saturday (April 28th).
A fourth person was also wounded in the attack.
The police were preparing to inaugurate a new police station when gunmen believed to be affiliated to al-Qaeda attacked their two vehicles, said Col. Sabah al-Falahi, the Abu Ghraib police chief.

The situation has become really ridiculous. How can an officer like him be killed in broad daylight as he was moving around in his vehicle and motorcade? Actually, I am unable to tell whether the police is to blame. There is no power except with God the Almighty. Originally, both the one injured and the one killed were from the police, so how can they neglect this case? Is this all the Iraqi police in the face of terrorism in their country? I do not know how matters are being managed in Iraq.

The murder of this Iraqi sergeant is considered a very serious crime against the Iraqi people. Iraqis do not wish to learn of such things happening to Iraq’s cream of the crop. How could these bastards do that to this soldier and his companions? None other than these faithless al-Qaeda members could do that since they are always keen on keeping Iraqi tribes living in ongoing crises throughout their lives. This is despite the fact that they know that the Iraqi people are helpless and weak and cannot even fight back against these atrocious crimes. No one can indeed dare to confront these al-Qaeda criminals. Therefore, the people must be protected since they shouldn’t experience daily bombings in different places. In either case, it seems that Iraqis will unfortunately face death either way, so I ask god to prevent that and let Iraqi people enjoy their full rights in Iraq.

Unfortunately, we see that all governments form militias to achieve their objectives and this is not different from the former presidents. He is an artist in sticking to the position and he is ready to day anything to stay at the head of the government, which became clear before all people. However, this would end eventually.
