BAGHDAD, Dec 31 (KUNA) -- Al-Anbar police Chief Tareq Al-Asal resigned over
the attacks on Ramadi, Wednesday, which targeted a government complex, a
source told KUNA Thursday.
An official source said Al-Asal resigned over the bloody attacks which left
Governor Qasem Mohamad among the injured, who is now in Baghdad for treatment.
As temporary replacement, Brigadier Mohammad Rashid now serves as acting
chief of police until a figure is nominated for the post.
Until recently, Al-Anbar enjoyed stability and security, before it was
rattled by the series of attacks on Fallujah and Ramadi.(end)
