#1 1 police killed, 2 others wounded

I'm pleased it's not the other way around - but, what the hell, you're dong in Iraq?

#2 I can’t find any other reporting about this incident, g(r)omgoru. Possibly it’s an Arab fantasy... or the police started it, so it’s being brushed under the rug.

#3 I did find this from Rudaw, g(r)omgoru, in which Kirkuk, the police casualties, and the same television station are all mentioned. But this is a mistaken Coalition airstrike, not clashes with US troops on the ground. The article also notes about Al Ahad TV:

The channel is close to Asaib Ahl al-Haq, a group that is commanded by Qais al-Khazali and fought as a paramilitary during the ISIS conflict. It is known to have links to Iran and hold anti-US sentiment.

#4 So... an Obama-symp outlet?
