INSURGENTS attacked buses carrying Iraqi police from the southern city of Basra to Baghdad today and several police officers were killed, a senior police source said.
The source said the police were ambushed near the town of Salman Pak, about 30km south-east of Baghdad, and said a number were dead.
"The street is littered with bodies," he said. "Fighting is still going on."
Iraq's Interior Ministry had no immediate information on any attack.

Well, the only thing I can say is at least it is pretty clear the Iraqi Police had guns this time as the fighting is still going on. Last time all 50 unarmed cops were lined up and shot.
