Iraq suspends police brigade amid sectarian violence
Iraqi authorities pulled a 700-strong police brigade from service in Baghdad for suspected links to death squads amid rising violence. The move followed the killing of four U S soldiers in Baghdad and further gunfire in the capital and Kirkuk as Sunnis accuse Shiite police of shielding militias. Brig Abdul Karim Khalaf said the unit was investigated for failing to respond to a kidnapping of 24 workers. Maj Gen William Caldwell noted retraining and possible removals for militia ties.
