It has happened again, more attacks on Iraqi police:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi insurgents Saturday launched car bomb attacks against two Iraqi police stations north of Baghdad -- killing at least 19 Iraqi police and civilians -- and fired a surface-to-air missile at a courier plane at Baghdad's airport, according to U.S.-led coalition officials.

No one was injured in the airport attack, which marked the first time since the declaration of the end of major combat on May 1 that a fixed-wing aircraft had been hit by a missile.

Shortly before 8 a.m. (12 a.m. EST), a suicide car bomber killed at least nine Iraqis and himself at a police station in Khan Bani Sa'ad, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of the Iraqi capital, according to coalition military officials.

Ten Iraqi civilians were injured in the attack, U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. George Krivo said.

Three hours later, another explosion was reported near the same police station, wounding at least two children -- one with a critical head injury -- witnesses told CNN.

Also around 8 a.m., a car bomb hit the Ba'quba police station about 80 km north of Baghdad, killing at least 10 Iraqis -- six police, four civilians -- according to senior deputy Interior Minister and Iraqi police chief Gen. Ahmed Kadhim Ibrahim.

What is the urge of attacking police? Why not just the Americans or something? I can understand attacking what you see as an imperalist invader, but attacking your fellow country men who are only trying to help out is just plain wrong. This is just getting complete out of hand, and these geurilla groups are just out of touch with reality and sickening.
