Up to 50 attackers went from room to room of the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps (search) compound in Fallujah, throwing grenades and firing automatic weapons, said one police officer.

That sounds very organized. Something that would have been rehearsed. Not just building a car bomb and getting some poor schmuck to drive it next to a building.

I wonder who was being held in that police station that they wanted to bust out so badly?

It does. And bold. They rode into the city on big jeeps bristling with weapons, and attacked the station. This follows yesterday's raid, when they missed the US commander, but all the attackers got away. I bet they are ex-Iraqi army.

I heard a news update at the top of the noon hour...it seems 4 attackers are among the dead in this attack....they were carrying Lebanese passports.....this raid was staged by foreign attackers.
