BAGHDAD – A pair of bombings killed four people Sunday in attacks targetingIraq's security forces, officials said, while the U.S. Embassy inBaghdad maintained it will continue training Iraqi police despitecutbacks to the program. The first bomb exploded near a security patrol in the western cityof Ramadi, killing one policeman and wounding seven people. Hourslater, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a security checkpoint inBaghdad, killing three people including two policemen andwounding nine more. Police and hospital officials in both Ramadi and Baghdad confirmedthe casualty figures.
All spoke on condition of anonymity becausethey were not authorized to release the information. Violence has dropped across Iraq since the days when the countryteetered on the brink of civil war just a few years ago, but deadlyattacks still happen nearly every day. Insurgents launch frequentattacks on Shiites and security forces loyal to the Shiite-ledgovernment in an attempt to revive sectarian fighting in thecountry. The U.S.
Embassy's $500 million police training program has beentouted as one of the main efforts to continue supporting Iraqisecurity forces in the wake of the American military's withdrawallast December. A recent report by U.S. government auditors found that the PoliceDevelopment Program is the embassy's most expensive initiative withIraq. Last month, the embassy reported to the Special InspectorGeneral for Iraq Reconstruction that it was withdrawing Americanadvisers from the Baghdad Police College.
The New York Times reported Sunday that the embassy hasdramatically slashed the program and may eliminate it by the end ofthe year. The U.S. Embassy denied the report, saying in a statement Sundaythat there are no plans to end the program completely. Embassy spokesman Michael McClellan called the police trainingprogram "a vital part of the U.S.-Iraqi relationship." He said themove to turn over the police academy to Iraqi officials would helpsave money but still allow advisers to help out in other ways. The police training program started last October after more thantwo years of planning how best to set it up, according to theaudit.
A month later, the Interior Ministry's principal deputyminister, Adnan al-Asadi, told auditors that the program would bereviewed at the end of 2012 to see whether it was successful ornecessary in the future. The State Department has said for months that it is trying to trim,or "right-size" some programs to save money at the embassy inBaghdad, which has for years been the largest U.S. diplomaticmission in the world. The police program was identified in Februaryas one program that might be reduced. I am Bag & Luggage Agents writer, reports some information about gift wholesale supplier , spa ozone generators.
