Iraqi police said they discovered the bodies of six men dressed in Iraqi National Guard uniforms dumped on a main highway near the northern city of Mosul Saturday.


The men had been shot in the chest and head, said Lt. Ali Hussein from the Iraqi police. They were found in the area of Intisar, east of Mosul.


Attacks against Iraq's security forces have steadily risen following the Jan. 30 national elections. Insurgents have vowed to up their attacks against the Iraqi forces at a time when the United States is trying to pass them more of the responsibility of securing the country.


But the body count of police seems to be most particularly high in Mosul, the country's third-largest city. Mosul has now become another flashpoint in the running battle between insurgents and U.S. and coalition troops.

Last December more than 150 bodies of mainly Iraqi security forces were found in Mosul in the space of one month.

2. 150 in a month, that's FIVE a DAY - where's the reporters?

At that rate, the toll JUST FOR THAT AREA would be 1800 a year!

I suspect that if they are dropping like flies on a daily basis, their training was not too thorough . . . sent out by the BFEE to take the bullets meant for them :shrug:

If NYC was losing 5 cops a day . . .

RIGHT

serious problems there!!

I can't help but wonder how traumatized these children will be by this fucked up war and occupation.
