INSURGENTS dressed in Iraqi police uniforms shot dead the chief of a central Baghdad police station today, police sources said.

They said the insurgents set up a fake police checkpoint and stopped the police officer's car as he was on the way to work at Salhiya police station.

After asking his name, they shot him along with two other policemen in his car.
