4 Iraq police officers died when they were sent down to Latifiyah to try to roust the insurgents there;
"Why did they slaughter my friends? One of them had his head blown off. Why did I survive? I want to die," said weeping police officer Mohsen Abdel Amin, who lost four of his comrades.
US Lieutenant Timothy Price, the head of training at several Iraqi police stations, said the forces were making progress given that they are not trained to fight insurgents.
"It is really a great success. When I got here a year ago they would not even leave the police station," he said.
After Latifiya, some may want to stay put again, protected by their rooftop sandbag gun positions and barricades.
