Ramadi, Iraq ? Twenty-one policemen were shot dead, execution style, when an armed gang stormed a police station on Sunday in a small town in the restive Iraqi province of Al-Anbar, home to Ramadi and Fallujah, a police officer said.
Several dozen gunmen attacked the police station in Haditha, 200km west of Baghdad, said the police officer from the town.
"The attackers disarmed the police, gathered them together and then shot them dead," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
