About 3,200 of the Iraqi town's 4,000 police officers dropped their weapons and ran off, intimidated into submission by groups of armed insurgents during a 48-hour period, it has emerged.
American-led troops will now potentially face rebels wearing police uniforms making it extremely difficult to distinguish them from policemen.
