'Al-Qaeda' Gunmen Kill 27 Police Officers In Coordinated Iraq Attack -- The Telegraph
Gunmen believed to be linked to al-Qaeda attacked police targets across the Iraqi town of Haditha on Monday, killing at least 27 officers.
The incident was among the bloodiest since America's last combat units withdrew from the country in December. It appeared to confirm the continuing ability of "al-Qaeda in Iraq" to carry out large scale, complicated attacks.
