 Insurgents pressed their unrelenting campaign to demolish the fledgling Iraqi security forces on Sunday, killing 18 members of the Iraqi National Guard and a civilian with a suicide car bomb north of Baghdad, the United States Army said, and killing several police officers and local officials in other attacks around the country. Scores of national guard and police officers have been killed in the last few weeks alone as insurgents have sought to cripple the interim government and disrupt national elections scheduled for Jan. 30. |
