Iraqi police get it on, hold their own.

Iraqi police killed three insurgents on Thursday during a gunbattle in a northwestern Baghdad neighborhood that was a flashpoint of violence earlier this week, a city police officer said.
About 30 rebels, armed with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms, set up a false checkpoint in Baghdad's al-Ghazaliya neighborhood. After a 30-minute gunfight, police detained one of the insurgents, the officer said.
