Battle erupts between rival US allies : shi'i puppet police battle sunni collaborators near Abu Hanifah mosque in western Bagdad wednesday evening
In a dispatch posted at 11:20pm Baghdad time Wednesday night, the Yaqen News Agency reported that fighting erupted near the Abu Hanifah Mosque in Baghdad’s al-A‘zamiyah district when a troop of puppet policemen attempted to storm the home of a member of the Sunni collaborationist “al-A‘zamiyah Awakening” police.
Yaqen reported that the puppet police, armed with machine guns, opened intensive fire at the mosque when they came under fire after trying to storm the home of the member of the “Awakening” collaborator forces. Fighting was still under way as of the time of reporting.
In recent weeks the US has stepped up its effort to rely increasingly on Sunni collaborationist “Awakening” police rather than on the Shi‘i sectarian militias that make up the bulk of the existing puppet police forces throughout much of Iraq and are close to various factions within the regime in Iran. Washington is apparently attempting to reduce the extent and effectiveness of Iranian influence inside Iraq but the reorientation has met with heavy resistance on the part of the US-installed Iraqi “Prime Minister” Nuri al-Maliki and other members of his administration, who have tried to block American efforts to incorporate the Sunni collaborators into the puppet police and military forces.
