1. I think it would be nice/safer to move those freaking Police Stations to

the desert so you can see for 5 miles in all directions.

You would think by now, they would get a damn clue???

Car Bomb Kills 20 at Iraq Police Station

6 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomb exploded Sunday morning at a police station in a town west of Baghdad, causing about 20 casualties, witnesses and the U.S. military said.

The attack in Khaldiyah, about 50 miles west of Baghdad, occurred near the main police station, witnesses said.

It was not clear whether the attack was a suicide bombing. U.S. troops have been targeted by suicide bombers three times in the past week. Dozens of soldiers have been injured and one was killed.

Khaldiyah is located in the so-called Sunni Triangle west and north of the capital, where attacks against occupation troops and their Iraqi allies have been fiercest.
