Iraqi security forces have foiled a plot by senior police officers linked to Al Qaeda to bomb the interior ministry, Interior Minister Bayan Solagh told a news conference Thursday.

“We arrested over the past few days a secret military network comprising eight senior police officers and other policemen from the 2nd Brigade who were linked to the so-called Zarqawi group” of Al Qaeda in Iraq, the minister said.

The 2nd Brigade is responsible for the police car pool.

“The network intended to assassinate top officers and completely destroy the interior ministry,” he said, refusing to give further details.

That country is truly ****ed up right now. Thank god they stopped this plot, it would have destroyed the country.
