cover by the side of the road, but the vehicles had already been set
ablaze and there they stopped.

statement saying that a number of puppet soldiers and Abu Ghurayb
prison employees had been killed but made no mention of the escape of
any Iraqi prisoners from the convoy.

Media sources in Iraq told Quds Press that clashes between puppet
"Interior Ministry" troops and puppet "Defense Ministry" troops broke
out in Baghdad on Tuesday.
The events began when a convoy of four vehicles carrying 30 armed
men wearing puppet "Interior Ministry Shock Troop" uniforms and masks
on their faces attacked the quarters where Arkan Hammad Dahi al-Ghazawi
(one of the personal guards of the US-appointed "Minister of Defense");
'Umar Sallum Dahi al-Ghazawi of the military police; and 'Ali Sallum
Dahi al-Ghazawi of the puppet "Interior Ministry" live in a residential
area known as 28 April. The 30 armed men were intent on arresting the
three al-Ghazawis.
Witnesses told Quds Press that a clash broke out between 'Umar
Sallum al-Ghazawi, who was not home when the 30 men initially came to
raid his apartment, and the attacking "Interior Ministry" force. When
'Umar al-Ghazawi’s ammunition was exhausted, he was arrested along with
the others. The "Interior Ministry" attackers blindfolded the
al-Ghazawis and beat and tortured them in their vehicles. Witnesses
said the "Interior Ministry" troops threatened to use electrical
torture on their bodies when they got them back to their headquarters.
The "Interior Ministry" troops also stole the car belonging to
Arkan Hammad al-Ghazawi, as well as US$500 and his personal weapon in
addition to a gold necklace that they yanked off the breast of 'Umar
al-Ghazawi’s sister.
The sources said that when the force reached the al-Jumhuriyah
Bridge in Baghdad, the three arrested men jumped out of the car and the
30 gunmen then opened fire on them when they sought the help of the
puppet "Ministry of Defense" Guards at the bridge. A gunbattle broke
out between the "Defense Ministry" guards and the "Interior Ministry
Shock Troops" that resulted in the arrest of nine "Interior Ministry"
troops, among them the commander of the group, a major in rank who was
carrying no identification other than a ration card.
The sources reported that after an investigation, the group of 30
"Interior Ministry Shock Troops" first said that they had gone out
without orders. Then they claimed that they were on an official mission
from the "Interior Ministry" headquarters. When the puppet Minister’s
office was contacted for confirmation, the office denied that any such
mission had been ordered, but admitted that the group had gone out,
only without such orders.
Quds Press noted that this was not the first time in which
detachments of troops from different branches of the US-installed
puppet regime had battled each other, noting that different
pro-American militias control different branches of the puppet military
forces and their rivalries break out in fighting from time to time.
