IRAQI CHIEF BRANDS POLICE 'DIS
AN Iraqi police chief last night said he cannot trust one third of his officers because they back the militias.
General Abdul Hussein Al Saffe, head of policing in the southern Dhi Qhar province, said many of his force were disloyal – but that they could not be sacked due to political protection.
Another senior officer said he had been forced for political and tribal reasons to hire up to 400 officers who were illiterate.
Brigadier General Ghalib al Jaza’aere said one policeman had to be sacked after he was caught smuggling weapons to be used against British troops.
But he was later re-instated and promoted by officials in Baghdad.
Bgd Gen Ghalib also said he feared officers were torturing suspects as they had under Saddam Hussein. The revelations came on the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. British commander Maj Gen Jonathan Shaw said Iraqi ministers knew the police were “not perfect”.
He added: “There’s always a balance when you have a newly created police force and army.
“It’s a question of balancing Iraqi enthusiasm for self-reliance with the risk of when they are capable of taking that responsibility. That judgment has to be made by Iraqis, which they are.”
It also emerged last night that since 2004 Britain has spent almost £145million on private security firms to protect staff and facilities in Iraq.
