Militants strike at Iraq's police chief!

Iraq is again in the news for all the wrong reasons.what would be surprising would be the news that the 'killing' has stopped.today saw the militants attack a 'police chief' and his residence in northern iraq.militants,arrived in loads,shot the chief's bodygaurds,his wife,his two brothers and have kidnapped his three sons.thankfully the chief was not at home.if this is the safety for a 'police chief' can you imagine what it would be like for the ordinary citizen of iraq?
The killings started with a bus explosion in which scores of people died,then a suicide bomber was seen driving towards a mosque at a place near the town of kirkurk.the police naturally opened fire and he exploded.the killings have been getting more frequent of late and this is indeed a worrying trend.not withstanding the sectarian violence in iraq,the 'kurds' of late have been making thier presence felt as well.all in all order seems to be fighting a losing battle with 'chaos'.whats next?
