BAGHDAD - Insurgents killed four Iraqi police in Baghdad on Friday and wounded another officer in an attack that killed his wife just a day after their wedding.

The government also came under pressure again on the diplomatic front as Algeria sought information on the fate of two of its diplomats snatched near their mission on Thursday.



"As long as there are no claims of responsibility from those behind the kidnappings we have to wait. We don't know who is behind it," Algerian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdelhamid Chebchoub said.

Kidnappings, suicide bombings and assassinations are part of a guerrilla strategy to topple the U.S.-backed government, which is overwhelmed by violence..........

1. The violence in the world today is horrific!

From tribal fighting in Africa to PNAC fuckers imposing their will in the world. Disgusting!

2. When will it end? What a hopeless situation. I can't imagine having to

live as these people are having to live - and die. I can only ask what I'm sure they ask everyday, "Why, why, why?"

Oh, but for the days when the men who started wars were required by honor to fight themselves. Things would be so different, were rich men not allowed to hire poor people to do their killing.

3. Why? Because George wanted to.

Isn't that a great reason?

4. I dont get it....

...why would Algeria even have diplomats in Iraq. They should've just put them in Washington if they wanted to jaw with the 'Iraqi leadership'
