4 held in slayings seen to be Iraqi police
Rebel infiltration of forces a concern

By Lee Keath, Associated Press, 3/13/2004

BAGHDAD -- Four Iraqis suspected of killing two American officials and their translator appear to be active police officers working with a Saddam Hussein loyalist, a top US military official said yesterday, raising concerns that insurgents are infiltrating Iraqi security forces being trained by the United States.

The four were caught along with a former officer from the Hussein-era police forces and a civilian after the slayings Tuesday of the two US-led coalition staff members and an Iraqi woman south of Baghdad, Major General Mark Kimmitt said.

US troops have been training Iraqi police and other security forces, intending to put them on the frontlines against guerrillas.
