Dozens seized at Baghdad security firm: police

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen wearing the uniform of Iraqi police commandos seized dozens of employees from the offices of a security company in eastern Baghdad on Wednesday, police sources said.
Two sources said about 50 people were taken. They said that the gunmen, who arrived in at least 10 vehicles, broke into the headquarters compound of the firm in the Zayouna district.
One Interior Ministry source said he was unaware of any official police operation in the area.
Many Iraqis have complained that gunmen dressed in police uniforms raided their houses and seized relatives.
But Sunni and other groups have accused the interior ministry of condoning death squads operating inside the ministry targeting Sunnis areas. The ministry denies it.
