Police infiltrators hold Basra in grip of terror

The convoy of Warrior armored vehicles
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior_Tracked_Armoured_Vehicle) jolted along the
rutted street. Inside the furnace-like interior of the rear vehicle four sweating
soldiers from the Staffordshire regiment (http://www.army.mod.uk/staffords) cursed
the stench of sewage that filled the air.
Their mission was simple if lowly: visit a police station and deliver a consignment
of toys to a nearby hospital. Two months ago the security would have been
unnecessary. Then British officers frequently drove around Basra in lone, unarmored
Land Rovers.
But a tranquil spring in southern Iraq has given way to a midsummer of violence that
reached an alarming climax when a mob set British troops ablaze and a rogue police
unit with suspected insurgent ties abducted two undercover soldiers.
Since then British positions in Basra, the capital of the south, have come under
mortar and rocket fire on 11 separate occasions, the most sustained attacks in at
least a year.
A series of sophisticated roadside attacks has killed six Americans and six Britons
in Basra province since the end of July alone.
And new details of last week's violence have highlighted what many long suspected:
Basra has fallen under the control of a cabal of renegade police commanders who have
enforced a reign of terror in the city.
It was these commanders, with close ties to radical Shia militias, who held the two
SAS soldiers in their headquarters at Basra's Jameat police station and probably
orchestrated the violence that followed.
British soldiers involved in the operation to rescue the two men say they were
surrounded by up to 3000 demonstrators.
They were then attacked by a well co-ordinated core of between 500 and 1000 who
damaged 13 Warrior armored vehicles, setting eight ablaze with petrol bombs.
Members of the crowd also fired hand-held and rocket-propelled grenades at the
Warrior armored vehicles and unleashed a hail of gunfire at British positions.
"The vehicle was on fire for up to an hour", said Sergeant Major Shaun Hunt, who
swung his turret repeatedly to knock off the baying mob clambering over the top of
his Warrior armored vehicle.
"Our biggest fear was that they were trying to throw a hand grenade into the turret",
he said. "We used six or seven fire extinguishers but the flames were coming in".
Four British soldiers were forced to escape from another Warrior armored vehicle and
images of them tumbling from their burning vehicle were beamed around the world.
Three have returned to duty but Private Karl Hinnet remains in a serious burns unit
in England.
With a British withdrawal from Iraq dependent on handing over to a police force
capable of enforcing stability in the south, officers are keen to emphasize that
relations with most of the police remain good.
An order from the city's governing council to halt contacts with the British has been
ignored by a large number of police. Two police stations visited by The Daily
Telegraph and British troops were welcoming, although officers at one other seemed
uncomfortable and possibly hostile.
British officers say they have successfully trained nearly 15,000 policemen in Basra
province. But some non-commissioned officers, speaking privately, seemed dubious
about their pupils' skills.
"They've forgotten everything you taught them by the next day", one complained.
Another characterized their shooting skills as "abysmal", although colleagues argued
that this was no bad thing. "At least when they shoot at us, they'll probably miss",
he said. British officers concede that militia infiltration of the police force and
the terror they inflict on the majority of ordinary, loyal policemen represents a
setback.
"The number of policemen with affiliation to militia is a problem but the other
problem is the effect they have on other departments", said Lieutenant Colonel Nick
Henderson, commanding officer of the Coldstream Guards in Basra. "It has an
exponential effect".
There has been a local surge of revenge killings in the region, with the bodies of
prominent Sunni Arabs found on a rubbish tip.
"Rumors"??? are whispered everywhere about the "malevolent" influence of Iran, whose
border
lies just a few miles away.
"Iranian insurgent"??? attacks against Iraqi targets seem unlikely. But attacks on
multinational forces could possibly have Iranian connections.
A "British diplomat" in Basra said the recent roadside bombs were similar to those
used by Hezbollah in Lebanon, "were associated with Iranian technology" and had
passed over the Iranian border.
