FALLUJAH, Iraq -- About 50 insurgents stormed a police station and a civil defense compound at dawn in Fallujah, Iraq, on Saturday, killing at least 17 Iraqi police officers and freeing dozens of prisoners.
It was the latest in a bloody week of attacks against Iraqis working with the coalition.
At least four of the attackers also died in Saturday's assault, which led to an hourlong wild gun battle between insurgents and Iraqi security forces that started in downtown Fallujah and flared out. Fallujah, 30 miles west of Baghdad, is the epicenter of of anti-U.S. sentiment in the volatile Sunni Triangle, north and west of the capital.
