| It's a start. The police force is a mess over issues just like this. IRAQI NATIONAL POLICE COMMANDER RELIEVED OF DUTY; TWO OTHERS ARRESTED BAGHDAD – An Iraqi national police battalion commander was relieved of duty Dec. 18 after giving permission to two Iraqi police officers to illegally arrest two local nationals near a security checkpoint within the Iraqi capital. The commander from 1st National Police Division permitted two Iraqi Police officers, claiming to be under orders from the Ministry of the Interior, to arrest two brothers for unknown reasons. Reports indicate the brothers were placed in two separate cars which departed in different directions. Investigation by the National Police Headquarters Deputy Commander led to the discovery that the capture was not authorized by the Ministry of the Interior. The deputy commander then ordered the arrest of the battalion commander and the individuals manning the check point where the incident occurred. The incident is still under investigation. |
