Alaa Ali Saleh

From the news reports:

The third officer, Second Lieutenant Alaa Ali Saleh, 24, who was uniformed, was shot as he got out of the front passenger seat and held his hands in the air, holding his coalition- issued yellow police badge and shouting "police, police," said Muhsen. ...

First Lieutenant Suadad Fadl was one of a number of upset officers at Al-Yarmuk police station, where a black banner was hung on the outside wall with a death notice for the dead officers.

"The Americans killed them, they must make good, they must pay the price," Fadl said.

"I have told them (the coalition forces) that I can't work with them if they do this. We're upset. We work with the Americans like brothers to catch thieves. We risk our lives with them."
