Iraq police swoop on 'criminals'

Sounds like the new Iraqi regime is trying to kick ass.

Police in Iraq have detained at least 525 suspected criminals in their biggest co-ordinated operation since the US invasion, officials say.
Some 500 Iraqi police staged a series of raids in Baghdad in an effort to clean up the capital’s streets, interior ministry sources said.
