While attacks on police stations have occurred in prior weeks, there is considerable concern here about a spike in violence in response to the announcement Saturday of the capture of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Seventeen died in a suicide attack on a police station in Haldiya on Sunday. The most deadly attack Monday was 20 miles north of Baghdad in the town of Husseiniya. Witnesses said an SUV was driven through a barricade at a police station there and then detonated, killing eight Iraqi police officers and wounding ten. Earlier Monday, a similar police station attack in the Amiriya neighborhood of Western Baghdad wounded five. Iraqi police said another attempt was made on the same station later. They said they thwarted that attack when they opened fire on an oncoming vehicle, killing the driver. U.S. troops then defused an explosive device. © 2003 The Washington Post Company
