[16 December 2003] AGHDAD, Iraq,(Saba) - Two powerful car bombs exploded at police stations in Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 6 Iraqi officers, wounding more than 20 other people and announcing that the insurgency here has
not ended with the arrest of Saddam Hussein. The Associated Press reported here Tuesday.

"People did this to say, 'We can do this even though you caught Saddam,'said Salem Abed Ali, 40, who was blasted from his breakfast table this morning, along with his wife and two children, after a bombing across
the street at a police station in the Husseiniya neighborhood. "They want to keep battling inside Iraqi lands."

In his national address on Sunday, President Bush cautioned Americans that the "capture of Saddam Hussein does not mean the end of violence in Iraq." His warning seemed confirmed in the rubble, shredded cars and
body parts at the sites of the two bombings. One was at a station where United States military investigators work, but they had not yet arrived.

The Army announced Tuesday that an American soldier had been killed Sunday when his military vehicle hit a roadside bomb near Baghdad, Agence France-Presse report- ed.

Against the images of a bedraggled and helpless-looking Mr. Hussein printed in Iraqi newspapers and played endlessly on satellite television, the attacks against the police also confronted Iraqis - and the American troops doing the fighting - with the question of what kind of enemy, exactly,
they face now.
