Hi, Wendy. This is an excerpt fro an article in today's New York Times.

The kidnapping, by gunmen wearing Iraqi police commando uniforms and driving more than 20 vehicles with Interior Ministry markings, was similar in style to several other mass abductions this year. The captives, who included Shiites, Sunni Arabs, Kurds and Christians, were driven to a predominantly Shiite area of eastern Baghdad, officials said, probably passing through numerous police checkpoints unimpeded.

Hours after the abduction, the Interior Ministry, which oversees the nation's police forces, arrested several police commanders in charge of the area where the ministry site is. And late Tuesday, Mr. Maliki, in an appearance on state-run television, said he had ordered an intensive search for the kidnapping victims.

Does anyone know if the people who kidnapped those 70some people from the
university in Iraq wearing government police uniforms were actually
affiliated with the current government in Iraq or are there impersonators
wearing government police garb running loose there now. At first, there was
much talk about the uniforms, but now they seem to be downplaying it.
