Gunmen mount dawn raid on Iraq ministry (Reuters)
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Up to 30 gunmen in 10 cars fired on
Iraq's interior ministry at dawn on Monday, killing two police and wounding five, ministry sources said, in what appeared a carefully coordinated attack on a sensitive target.
The attack came as campaigning was getting under way for a referendum due by October 15 on a contentious new constitution for the post-
Saddam Hussein era, and of the trial of Saddam himself, now confirmed for October 19.
"Two policemen were killed and five wounded," an Interior Ministry source told Reuters, adding that the gunmen, in 10 cars, had used rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and automatic rifles in the attack at 6:15 a.m. (0215 GMT).

Good stuff. If you're interested, you'll find a range of dog arthritis care related material at my blog. And dog arthritis care is something we should all be concerned with.
