US killing of eight Iraqi police fuels anger in troubled town
As well as the eight who died, four other policemen were injured. Their patrol cars had their sirens on and their warning lights flashing as they chased the suspects through the centre of town early yesterday. As the vehicles passed in front of a US military base American tanks opened fire without warning.
The suspect car, a dark BMW believed to be carrying several gunmen, disappeared untouched by the shooting.
